Curiosidades

Hurricane Smith is a 1952 American adventure film directed by Jerry Hopper and starring Yvonne De Carlo, John Ireland, James Craig, Forrest Tucker, Lyle Bettger and Richard Arlen.

Production

The film is based on the 1922 novel Hurricane Williams by Gordon Ray Young. The character had previously appeared in a number of Young's stories, including Wild Blood (1921) and The Vengeance of Hurricane Williams (1926).

In 1951, producer Nat Holt announced that he had acquired the screen rights to the novel and had hired Frank Gruber, one of his regular screenwriters, to adapt it. Edmond O'Brien, who had recently starred in Silver City (1951) for Holt, was mentioned as a possible star. In August 1951, Holt announced that Paulette Goddard would star, with Sterling Hayden as a possible costar.

As Paramount was facing a backlog of films, production was delayed until February 1952. The film features Kanaka workers as extras, but their skin color was deemed too light, so it was darkened by the film's makeup man.
