Interesting facts

  • Based on: D.O.A.

Color Me Dead is a 1969 Australian thriller directed by Eddie Davis, starring American actors Tom Tryon, Carolyn Jones and Rick Jason. It is a remake of the 1950 film D.O.A. Due to the failure on renewing copyright of D.O.A., the content of D.O.A. became the property of United States public domain. Thus, the content of Color Me Dead could be exactly the same as D.O.A.

Production

The film was the second of three movies Eddie Davis made in Australia for Reg Goldsworthy: It Takes All Kinds, Color Me Dead, and That Lady from Peking. Shooting began in September 1968 and took place in Mittagong, Surfers Paradise and Sydney. The common feature of these three movies is that the main actors are Americans and the Australian company Goldsworthy Productions provided the other resources of the movie, such as the $500,000 budget.
