What Hayes didn't know was that most of Levine's plans would never come to fruition, and many of the scripts he wrote for the company remained unproduced.

John Michael Hayes' screenplay was based on Cornell Woolrich's original 1942 short story "It Had to Be Murder".
Logan's treatment clearly laid the foundation for Hayes to build on, but it had several problems and lacked numerous elements that Hitchcock and Hayes would add to strengthen the story: story elements, richer characters, more conflict, and better visuals.
Hayes constructed a convincing narrative with richly drawn characters and keenly raised the emotion and drama by injecting well placed conflict.

Relying heavily on interviews with Hayes as well as on studio memos and production notes, DeRosa gives us not only an in-depth portrait of this working relationship but a comprehensive look at the industry in the late 1950s, when it was struggling to reassert itself after the emergence of television.
Hitchcock was particularly productive during the 1950s, when he collaborated with the young John Michael Hayes on four films: the innovative (Rear Window), the witty (The Trouble with Harry), the stylish (To Catch a Thief), and the stodgy (the remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much).
Hayes continued to work but eventually grew disenchanted with Hollywood; meanwhile, Hitchcock went on to direct three of his greatest films toward the end of the decade.

“The four films that John Michael Hayes wrote for Hitchcock, were made during the richest and most complex period in the director's career.
As Steven DeRosa writes, Hitchcock was most comfortable working with younger, untried writers to whom he could be a mentor; the films he made with Hayes are ample testimony to the success of that strategy.

His reserved, introspective Det. John Kelly was relaxed to the point of boredom, a sure insomnia cure.
While Caruso's Hayes flashes a zeal which wins over victims and audiences, the writing pales in comparison to legal heavyweights such as "Law and Order" or "Homicide." Every wrong is righted in an hour, with little drama along the way.
Unimaginative as it is, it's surprising that "Michael Hayes" is produced by Paul Haggis, whose last effort was the dark but powerful "EZ Streets." Some of that series' boldness meshed with Caruso's bravado would make "Michael Hayes" one to reckon with.

 Looking at Old Films with New Eyes: Interview with Steven DeRosa   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
To Alfred Hitchcock, the most enjoyable part of the filmmaking process was the time alone in the office with the screenwriter, when they plotted, invented, and devised new ways to thrill an audience.
"To that point, there was little to nothing written about Hayes, or any of the screenwriters who worked with Hitchcock for that matter, and Hitchcock himself had only made dismissive comments about his writers, most notably during a series of interviews with the famous French film critic and director Francois Truffaut.
This seemed evidence enough that Hayes was the right screenwriter to pursue.

The result, with its luscious colors, is visually entrancing, and the soundtrack has been digitally enhanced too, so that Franz Waxman's jazzy score makes an immediate impact.
With its great script by John Michael Hayes (based on the fine story by Cornell Woolrich), its first-rate cast (Thelma Ritter's machine- gun delivery still works beautifully) and the director's unsurpassed gift for generating tension and suspense, "Rear Window" remains a winner all the way, an absolute joy for all its 112 minutes.
And, especially in terms of the protagonist's obsessive behavior (marvelously catch by Stewart), savor the thematic connections the picture has with the later "Vertigo." "Rear Window" is one of those classic pieces of cinematic perfection in which new sources of amazement arise with each repeated viewing.

Everyone's favourite rotund auteur was fond of describing his actors as 'cattle' and deflating their pretentions with a cry of 'It's only a movie!'.
The thrust of DeRosa's argument is that Hayes' sterling work reinvigorated Hitchcock's ailing career (although one might uncharitably suggest that the pictures in question are far from Hitchcock's masterpieces, and that better work was to come).
As a work of pure scholarship, no-one could doubt the research that's gone on here, and Hayes himself is quoted throughout; but while he comes across as being a thoroughly nice chap, none of his memories are particularly electrifying.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: To Catch a Thief
Adapted by John Michael Hayes from the novel by David Dodge, To Catch a Thief concerns American expatriate John Robie, a former circus acrobat who became a master jewel thief in France before World War II, but later joined the French Resistance and earned a parole for his wartime efforts.
Posing as a lumber baron from Oregon, Robie intends to be nearby when the Stevens jewels are stolen — what he can't suspect is that the beautiful Frances knows a few things about Robie as well, and the thrill-seeking girl has set her own cat-trap.
Foremost among these was scenarist John Michael Hayes, who wrote four films for Hitchcock and arguably provided the director with his wittiest dialogue — here, each scene crackles with lively ripostes and double-entendres.
