A third "Babes" picture for Garland and Rooney, director
Busby Berkeley
, and producer
Arthur Freed
entitled Babes in Hollywood was shelved after Freed decided to produce the long awaited
Girl Crazy
instead and give Garland a leading lady role in
For Me and My Gal
. Babes in Hollywood was intended to be an update of "Merton of the Movies", filmed in Technicolor with cameo appearances by MGMs stable of stars. Harry Warren and
Leo Robin
were hired to compose the score (which then included "A Journey to a Star", "Polka Dot Polka", and "No Love No Nothin") with additional songs by
Hugh Martin
and
Ralph Blane
.
Sid Silvers
was hired to write the script, which never got past the outline stage. After the project was shelved, 20th Century Fox hired Berkeley, Warren, and Robin for

") and Ridley Scotts previous film,
Alien
. He then mailed a copy of the article to the Blade Runner production offices. Ultimately, Dick would change his opinion about the project, largely due to the involvement of
Jeffrey Walker
, a publicist for the Ladd Company, who convinced Warner Bros. that Dick needed to be involved in the project (the original production company, Filmways Inc, had basically ignored Dick and kept him out of the loop). Walker kept Dick abreast of all major developments behind the scenes, and Dick eventually became a supporter of the film, even though
