I was engaged for a number of years to the daughter of Herb Anderson, who was best known as Dennis the Menace's father on the old TV series. We hung out a bit.

One of his best friends, besides Broderick Crawford and Henry Fonda was a defrocked Roman Catholic priest who also worked in the movies. Now, believe it or not, his job was to be available on the sets in order to suggest wording or phrasing in case someone found the script deficient. He was supposed to come up with a way of saying things which would be more acceptable to the major folks.

I would imagine his personal stamp is on a number of scripts. And there had to be others like him. They may have influenced, or brought on, various ways of saying things which were a bit out of sync with the original dialogue.

Just a thought.
