Gentleman's Agreement was in fact produced by the only Gentile at the top table, Darryl F Zanuck, and his main motivation was because the subject, after the war, had become "hot box-office".
But the sceptical Zanuck eventually came round after the slightly unexpected success of another sci-fi adventure, Fantastic Voyage, and Planet of the Apes finally went ahead in 1968, directed by Franklin J Schaffner.
