Lorna Doone is a 1951 American historical adventure film directed by Phil Karlson and starring Barbara Hale and Richard Greene. It is an adaptation of the 1869 novel Lorna Doone by R. D. Blackmore, set in the English West Country during the 17th century.

Production

In 1946, Edward Small announced plans to film the 1869 novel Lorna Doone, written by R. D. Blackmore, and hired George Bruce to write the screenplay. Charles Bennett worked with Bruce on the early drafts of the script. Small sent representatives to Great Britain to scout locations, and he wanted to shoot the film on location in Scotland. In 1948, Small announced that the film would be a coproduction with J.

In 1948, Alfred Hitchcock announced plans to film the novel for Transatlantic Pictures, the short-lived production company that he founded with Sidney Bernstein. Small claimed that he had registered the title in the United States, meaning that Hitchcock could film the story but would not be able to title the film Lorna Doone during its American release.

Jesse L. Lasky Jr. wrote the final draft of the script. The film was produced in Hollywood, and filming started on May 17, 1950. Location shooting occurred at Yosemite National Park. The final script was heavily influenced by Westerns.
