Production
The movie was shot in a widescreen process that Paramount promoted as "Magnascope". This process was used to heighten the visual effects in specific points in the film by switching to a larger "widescreen" thus enhancing the visual drama of the feature. It was reported that at the premiere of Old Ironsides the audience "stood up and cheered" when the Magnascope was activated.
This lavish oceangoing epic features battle scenes with sailing ships and pirates. The Maine-built ship Llewellyn J. Morse was refitted as USS Constitution. A real 1886 ship, S. N. Castle, was burned and sunk for the film off Catalina Island.
Box office receipts from the premiere at the Rialto Theater went to the USS Constitution restoration fund.
