Casey Robinson(1903-1979)

He disliked working in collaboration, preferring to receive solo credit for his efforts. He preferred working for Warner Brothers, because he believed that Jack L. Warner was too tight-fisted to fork out extra money for re-writes, thus more of the original script would be featured on screen.

[on working for Warner Bros. in the 1930s]: A writer was expected to arrive at the studio at nine o'clock in the morning and leave at five o'clock. He was expected to restrict his outside calls to a minimum. They were monitored. Let's face it, you didn't say anything you didn't want heard. A writer was not permitted on the set without the written permission of Jack Warner. This was a regulation. A writer was never invited to see his rushes. He was never invited to a preview. If he wanted to see his own pictures on the screen, he paid his money and went and saw them.
