Prior to deciding on Citizen Kane, Orson Welles considered adapting the novel The Smiler With A Knife, an adventure story featuring amateur sleuth Nigel Strangeways. The story would have be very topical, with Strangeways and his wife Georgia fighting a fascist takeover of the United States (transplanted from the U.K. in the original novel). When RKO rejected Welles's suggestions for the female lead (Lucille Ball, Dita Parlo, or Uta Hagen), the filmmaker moved on to Citizen Kane. The Nigel Strangeways novels, which combined suspense and humor, were written by Nicholas Blake, a pen name for Cecil Day-Lewis, the future Poet Laureate of the U.K. and father of actor Daniel Day-Lewis.
