Then creator and producer Irving Brecher saw Bendix as taxicab company owner Tim McGuerin in <i>The McGuerins from Brooklyn</i>. Brecher stated, "He was a Brooklyn guy and there was something about him. I thought, This guy could play it. He'd made a few films, like <i>Lifeboat</i>, but he was not a name. So I took <i>The Flotsam Family</i> script, revised it, made it a Brooklyn Family, took out the flippancies and made it more meat-and-potatoes, and thought of a new title, <i>The Life of Riley</i>. Bendix's delivery and the spin he put on his lines made it work." The reworked script cast Bendix as blundering Chester A. Riley, a wing riveter at the fictional Cunningham Aircraft plant in California. His frequent exclamation of indignation – "What a revoltin' development this is!" – became one of the catchphrases of the 1940s. It was later reused by Benjamin J.
