When screenwriter R.C. Sherriff came to Hollywood to write this film, he asked the staff at Universal for a copy of the H.G. Wells novel he was supposed to be adapting. They didn't have one, all they had were 14 "treatments" done by previous writers on the project, including one set in Czarist Russia, and another set on Mars. Sherriff eventually found a copy of the novel in a secondhand bookstore, read it, thought it would make an excellent picture as it stood, and wrote a script that, unlike "Universal's" "Dracula (1931)" and "Frankenstein (1931)," was a closer adaptation of the book. This was fortunate, in that Wells had negotiated script approval when he sold the rights.
