Caribbean Gold is a 1952 American swashbuckler adventure film directed by Edward Ludwig and starring John Payne, Arlene Dahl and Cedric Hardwicke. The film was produced by Pine-Thomas Productions for distribution by Paramount Pictures and was based on the novel Carib Gold by Ellery Clark. The film's sets were designed by the art director Hal Pereira.

Production

The script is based on a 1926 novel by Ellery Clark titled Carib Gold.

In January 1951, the film rights were bought by Pine-Thomas Productions, which had a deal to produce films for Paramount. Mark Stevens was to star and Edward Ludwig to direct. However, by March, Stevens had withdrawn and the film was to star John Payne, who had appeared in several films for Pine-Thomas. Curtis Kenyon and Morton Grant were hired to write the script.

In June 1951, Payne signed a contract with Pine-Thomas to star in two films per year for three years. The first were to be Green Gold of Nevada (later retitled Timber Man) and Caribbean Gold.

In July, Arlene Dahl was announced as Payne's costar. The film was the first of her three-year Pine-Thomas contract.

Filming was to begin in October 1951, but Paramount, which was contending with a backlog of unreleased films, asked Pine-Thomas to push the start of production until January 1952.
