Interesting facts

Scarlet River is a 1933 American pre-Code Western film directed by Otto Brower, written by Harold Shumate, and starring Tom Keene, Dorothy Wilson, Roscoe Ates, Lon Chaney Jr. and Edgar Kennedy. It was released on March 10, 1933, by RKO Pictures.

Production

David Lewis had been producing Tom Keene Westerns at RKO. He said head of production David O. Selznick wanted to do something different and requested Lewis make a Keene western set in the circus. It was realised that this would be too expensive - Keene Westerns had a budget ceiling for $30,000 - so the concept was revised to be about a movie cowboy, as the film could be shot on the RKO backlot.
