趣闻
Old Ironsides is a 1926 American silent historical war film directed by James Cruze and starring Charles Farrell, Esther Ralston, Wallace Beery, George Bancroft and Boris Karloff in a small role. It was produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures.
Production
Old Ironsides was shot in a widescreen process that Paramount named "Magnascope". This process heightened the visual effects in the film at specific points by switching to a larger "widescreen". It was reported that at the premiere of Old Ironsides, the audience "stood up and cheered" when the Magnascope sequences appeared.
The film features battle scenes with sailing ships and pirates. The Maine-built ship Llewellyn J. Morse was refitted as the USS Constitution. A real1886 ship, the S. N. Castle, was used for the burning and sinking of the USS Philadelphia. This scene was filmed off Catalina Island in California.
Box office receipts from the premiere at the Rialto Theater in New York City went to the USS Constitution restoration fund. A novelisation of Old Ironsides by A.M.R. Wright, called Sons of the Sea, was published by The Readers Library to coincide with the release of the film in the United Kingdom.
