흥미로운 사실
The Sun Never Sets is a 1939 American drama film directed by Rowland V. Lee and starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Basil Rathbone and Barbara O'Neil.
Production
The film had been in development and Universal "on and off" for three years. Eventually Rowland V. Lee was assigned to direct and Basil Rathbone to star. (The two men had just made Son of Frankenstein together.) In February Douglas Fairbanks Jr. signed to co star.
The script was written by W.P. Lipscomb who said the film wanted to pay tribute to the British colonial service.
We attacked it by telling the story of one family, typical of hundreds of families who devote their lives to "the service." We show human beings and human emotions involved in affairs greater than themselves., and watch how they react.
Filming began 13 March 1939. Lipscomb was a friend of Virginia Field and wrote her into the movie.
Douglas Fairbanks Jr. says C Aubrey Smith walked up to him on the first day of filming and said, "Rotten title. It already has set."
