Interesting facts

Little Egypt is a 1951 American Technicolor comedy drama film directed by Frederick de Cordova and starring Mark Stevens and Rhonda Fleming. It is a highly fictionalized biography of the dancer Little Egypt in the 1890s.

Production

The film was announced in October 1950 and filming began in late November.

Director Frederick de Cordova later said: "At least the picture got me back in the musical area where I had worked in New York. Mark Stevens was an attractive, competent actor and Rhonda Fleming was a very pretty girl. We tested a lot of women for that part. Whoever played it had to be voluptuous and able to move sexily. The picture was kind of a pot boiler but we got paid for it.
