Deported

Deported (1950)

The real-life deportation of gangster Lucky Luciano was the inspiration for this romanticized and slightly crackbrained crime drama. Jeff Chandler plays the Luciano counterpart, who once he arrives in Italy renews his criminal activities.

豆知識

Deported is a 1950 American crime film noir directed by Robert Siodmak and starring Märta Torén, Jeff Chandler and Claude Dauphin. It was produced and distributed by Universal Pictures.

Production

The film was originally titled Paradise Lost '49 and was to star Dana Andrews, who had appeared in Sword in the Desert, also produced by Robert Buckner. Andrews became unavailable and Victor Mature and John Garfield were discussed as possible alternatives. Eventually the lead role was assigned to Jeff Chandler after he had impressed Universal Studios with his performance in Sword of the Desert and Broken Arrow.

Much of the film was shot in Italy on location in Naples, Siena and other points in Tuscany. Of the actors, only Chandler and Märta Torén were brought from the U.S., with the rest coming from Italy or France. Filming began early in 1950.

Writer-producer Robert Buckner praised filming on location in Italy. He said that Universal had set aside $300,000 in frozen currency to make the film, of which he spent only $117,000. He also said that if Chandler had not been required to return to the U.S. to fulfill a radio commitment requiring three weeks of filming in a Hollywood studio, another $100,000 could have been saved.

An $800,000 plagiarism suit was filed against Universal Pictures by Rome-based American author Michael Stern, who alleged that he had written a manuscript in 1948 that he submitted to Kurt Siodmak, brother of the film's director Robert Siodmak. Stern claimed that Kurt Siodmak introduced him to his brother, who assured Stern that something would come of the manuscript.

The film is said to be based on the famous Italian gangster Lucky Luciano. However, Chandler denied this, saying that the character that he played was that of a small-time gangster, "and what happens after he lands is quite different from what happened to Luciano. I understand Luciano was really disappointed when our producer, Robert Buckner, mentioned this to him."
