The original play was written as a parable which fictionalized the 1925 Scopes "Monkey" Trial as a means of discussing the 1950s McCarthy trials.[1] This version differed from the two previous films by attempting to make Brady more sympathetic and the storyline (according to its producers) "a bit more fair to both sides."[2]
When announced in early 1987, the film was to co-star Douglas and Gregory Peck, under the title The Monkey Trial.[3]
