Captain Kidd is a 1945 American adventure film starring Charles Laughton, Randolph Scott and Barbara Britton. It was directed by Rowland V. Lee, his last before he retired, and produced by Benedict Bogeaus and James Nasser. The music was conducted by Werner Janssen. The film was released by United Artists. It has entered the public domain because the producers neglected to renew the copyright in 1972. In his memoirs, Nikita Khrushchev noted that this was one of Joseph Stalin's favourite films, and that Stalin identified with the mischievous captain.

Production

Charles Laughton's casting was announced in December 1944. Laughton said he had long been interested in playing Kidd and liked the opportunity to show his versatility. Rowland Lee was signed to direct.

In January 1945 Randolph Scott signed to play the romantic male lead. Filming began 25 January. It was shot at the General Service Studio using a boat that had been built for The Black Swan and used for The Princess and the Pirate. Reginald Owen was borrowed from MGM.
