Allan Sloane (1914-2001) is the winner of three Emmys and six Peabody awards for television and radio scripts. The screenplay was inspired by the life and ministry of Father C. Kilmer Myers, a vicar of an Episcopal Mission in New York City's Lower East Side and author of the book Light the Dark Streets. Father Myers gained national attention in the 1950s for his social work. Although this screenplay was not produced, it undoubtedly served as a source for Sloane's screenplays for episodes of the TV series East Side, West Side in the 1960s.
