Carl Rollyson Quote
In a memo dated April 22, 1942, concerning a script conference about Maryland, Darryl Zanuck rejected the idea of making a radical change in Brennan’s screen persona. Brennan simply could not be presented as a prospective bridegroom—even though in real life he is a man about 38. Such a persona would be completely wrong since Brennan is a most unromantic character . . . the audience would never swallow him in any romantic complication because of his unattractiveness. Instead, the producer suggested that the screenwriters build interest by concentrating on Brennan’s character and his fluctuating fortunes.
