Way Back Home is a 1931 American pre-Code drama film directed by William A. Seiter and starring Phillips Lord, Effie Palmer, Frank Albertson and Bette Davis. The screenplay was written by Jane Murfin based on characters created by Lord for the NBC Radio show Seth Parker.
Production
Phillips Lord had created the character of preacher and folksy philosopher Seth Parker for a Sunday night series broadcast by NBC Radio. Its popularity led RKO Radio Pictures to purchase the film rights and assign Jane Murfin to write a screenplay with Parker and his wife as the central characters.
Berman negotiated with Universal Pictures for the loan of Bette Davis, whose contract with the studio had been recently renewed following her completion of Waterloo Bridge, and Carl Laemmle, Jr. agreed to loan her for a fee of $300 per week. Davis was pleased with the attention paid to her by cinematographer J. Roy Hunt. She later recalled: "I was truly overjoyed. Plus the part I played was an important one—and a charming one.
The film was shot on location in Santa Cruz, California because of the small town's New England-like atmosphere. Much of the rural farm setting was filmed at the Hunsucker Ranch in Scotts Valley, a well-known filming location at the time. The ranch was also used as a filming location for Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (1917) and Hide-Out (1934).
