11. The script writing was so challenging that a play was written about it

The film’s producer Selznick, director Fleming, and script doctor Ben Hecht locked themselves away for a week to get the final script completed. The process was apparently so horrible that later the comedy Moonlight and Magnolias was written about it. While working they lived off of bananas and peanuts, which left one man collapsing from exhaustion and another bursting an eye vessel.
