Interesting facts

Sangaree is a 1953 American 3-D color period costume drama film by director Edward Ludwig. It was adapted from the 1948 novel of the same name by Frank G. Slaughter.

Production

The film was based on the novel by Frank G. Slaughter, which was published in 1948. Slaughter was a doctor turned novelist who specialised in historical fiction.

Pine-Thomas Productions purchased the film rights in March 1952. In June they hired Edward Ludwig to direct this and The Rebel. (The latter would not be made.)

By November Arlene Dahl was set as the female lead and Pine and Thomas were trying to get Tyrone Power for the male star. Eventually Fernando Lamas was borrowed from MGM.

Filming started 17 January 1953. Filming took place for ten days when Paramount chairman Adolph Zukor decided to halt, and start again in 3-D. The new technique involved a deal of adjustment.

"It was rather like doing a stage play," said Patricia Medina.
