Well, the folks in the Writers Building in the old film factory days were an
imaginative bunch with lots of time on their hands.
 
One could learn a great deal about films by reading their memoirs, rather
than simply "reading films."
 
Anyway:
 
I think the story comes from Jack Vizzard: SEE NO EVIL: LIFE INSIDE A
HOLLYWOOD CENSOR (New York: Simon and Shuster, 1970; reprinted Pocket
Book, 1971).
