Fitzgerald wrote only one screenplay, which was an adaption of the novel ''Three Comrades'' (1929) by Erich Maria Remarque.  The movie was praised by critics, more so over time, and commercially successful.  Fitzgerald wrote the screenplay on a six-month contract with [[MGM]] for $1000 a week, beginning in July 1937.  He completed and submitted two-thirds of it in September.  The producer was Joseph Mankiewicz.
