Ferenc Molnár wrote The Good Fairy, originally A jó tündér, in 1930. The English translation by Jane Hinton was presented on Broadway, with another production later that year. In 1935, Preston Sturges adapted the story for the film The Good Fairy. The film's screenplay was used as the basis for the 1951 Broadway musical Make A Wish. The Good Fairy tells the story of a woman who must face the consequences of pretending to be someone she is not.
