In October of 1948, Robert Siodmak and Budd Schulberg collaborated on a screenplay, tentatively titled "A Stone in the River Hudson," based on Malcolm Johnson's series of articles that exposed corruption and organized crime on the New York City waterfront. The film was to be shot on location that same year in Manhattan, but--according to Siodmak's biographer Herve Dumont--the McCarthy hearings brought an abrupt end to it, as Schulberg had been targeted a Communist sympathizer. This accusation would haunt him and the project again in 1951 when Daryl Zanuck, who would produce the film for 20th Century-Fox, backed down and sold the rights to Sam Spiegel. In 1954, Siodmak sued Spiegel for copyright infringement and failure to acknowledge his contribution to the original screenplay. He was awarded $100,000, but no screen credit.
