The role of Mayor Frank Skeffington was first offered to Orson Welles, as Welles recounts in Peter Bogdanovich's 1992 book "This Is Orson Welles". However, "When the contracts were to be settled, I was away on location, and some lawyer -if you can conceive of such a thing- turned it down. He told Ford that the money wasn't right or the billing wasn't good enough, something idiotic like that, and when I came back to town the part had gone to Tracy."
