The New York Times には、screenwriter としての Fitzgerald について
次のように書いている。

As Wilder foresaw, Fitzgerald in the end had even worse luck in Hollywood than writers like William Faulkner and Raymond Chandler, who actually saw a movie or two of theirs be made and in something like the form in which they had written it. In his entire Hollywood career Fitzgerald picked up only a single screenwriting credit, for the 1938 film ''Three Comrades'' (starring Robert Taylor and Margaret Sullavan and based on the novel by Erich Maria Remarque), and even that script was heavily rewritten by the producer, Joseph L. Mankiewicz.
