Slaughter wrote a screenplay based on his 1954 novel The Song of Ruth: A Love Story From the Old Testament. Michael Kanin and his wife, Fay Kanin, who were later hired to write the screenplay, wrote treatments for the film. In 1957, Simon Windelburg was announced as the film’s screenwriter. The film stars Stuart Whitman as Boaz, Tom Tryon as Mahlon, Peggy Wood as Naomi, Viveca Lindfors as Eleilat, Jeff Morrow as Tob, and introduces 19-year old Elana Eden as Ruth.
The screenplay, written by Norman Corwin, is an adaptation of the biblical Book of Ruth. The Story of Ruth is a 1960 American historical romance film directed by Henry Koster, shot in CinemaScope and DeLuxe Color, and released by 20th Century Fox. After tragedy strikes, Ruth follows Naomi and begins a new life in Bethlehem. Ruth is curious about their God, and begins to meet secretly with Mahlon.
While arranging a temple ritual, she encounters a Judean family of artisans: Elimelech, his wife Naomi, their sons Chilion and Mahlon, and daughter-in-law Orpah.
Years pass and she serves as a priestess to the idol. Inspired by the tale from Hebrew scriptures and the Christian Bible, the Moabitess child Ruth is sold to the temple of Chemosh.
