It is written in Hollywood, and scripts are flown to New York, sometimes a page or two at a time-while the production crew waits to find out what happens next. One man spends most of his time looking for locations that fit the scenes, such as a tenement having an open stairwell with wood banisters (for a breakaway fight scene).

Says Eagle: "If somebody now is born with short arms, you don't put him in a sideshow and bill him as the Seal Boy or the Frog Boy; you try to make his arms as normal as possible...
...there were other things that the kids were talking about even more. The University police ("gosh, it's the fuzz" according to one boy from a reform school); men in uniform who actually smiled and talked to the kids; the welcome they received in University buildings that usually throw them out: all these they saw with...
