Интересные факты

Ah, Wilderness! is a 1935 American comedy-drama film adaptation of the 1933 Eugene O'Neill play of the same name. Directed by Clarence Brown, the film stars Wallace Beery and features Lionel Barrymore, Eric Linden, Cecilia Parker, Spring Byington and a young Mickey Rooney. The film was remade as Summer Holiday in 1948, with Rooney in the role played by Linden in Ah, Wilderness!.

Production

As Robert Benchley had been expected to play the role of Sid, the casting of Wallace Beery in August 1935 was a surprise announcement. Lewis Stone was considered for the role of Nat. William Henry and William Janney, who played the role in the stage production, were considered for the role of Richard.

Ah, Wilderness! was partially shot on location in Grafton, Massachusetts, where director Clarence Brown (who grew up in the region in the 1900s) encountered trouble with several local unions who objected to the employment of nonunion electricians, carpenters and musicians. Despite the union agitation, Grafton was flooded with visitors and police guarded the bandstand to prevent souvenir hunters from removing pieces of it.
