Stark Young's book of the same name, contained the germ of a truly dramatic idea, and the sensitive adaptation by Sherwood Anderson and Laurence Stallings made the most of it.

One who did so was Publisher William Randolph Hearst, whose California properties include a 50,000-acre estate at Wyntoon, a 270,000-acre estate at San Simeon.
