Kidnapped is a 1948 American historical adventure film directed by William Beaudine and starring Roddy McDowall, Sue England and Dan O'Herlihy. It is based on the 1886 novel of the same name by Robert Louis Stevenson. The former child star McDowall plays David Balfour in the story about a young man cheated out of his birthright by his wicked, covetous uncle Ebenezer.

Production

McDowall performed a radio version of the novel in 1946 with Douglas Fairbanks Jr.

In 1948 McDowall was making a series of films for Monogram Pictures on which McDowall would star and executive produce. They selected Kidnapped. Dan O'Herlihy, who had just appeared in Orson Welles' Macbeth was signed to play Alan Breck. Filming started on Santa Catalina in May 1948. The film unit used James Cagney's yacht, the Swift. Studio work took place at Nassour Studios.

Monogram considered making a sequel, David Balfour, also starring McDowall. It was meant to follow Tuna Clipper, the next McDowall-Parsons-Monogram film. However this did not eventuate.
