흥미로운 사실

Wild Harvest is a 1947 American drama film directed by Tay Garnett and starring Alan Ladd, Dorothy Lamour and Robert Preston. It was produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

Production

The film was based on an original screen story called The Big Haircut by Houston Branch, which focused on wheat harvesters who travel across the country doing their job. "The big haircut" was their slang term for the work they do; the topic was thought to be especially topical because of a worldwide bread shortage at the time. It was bought by Paramount in May 1946 specifically as a vehicle for Alan Ladd. A. I.

The cast included a 28-year-old Caren Marsh—a bit-part actor who had appeared in a Paramount training film warning military personnel against the dangers of women. So many navy and army men wrote in asking for Marsh's picture that Paramount signed her to a long-term contract; Wild Harvest was her first appearance.

Filming was meant to start on 2 September 1946 but was postponed a day so Alan Ladd could enjoy his birthday. Filming did not finish until November 1946, ten days behind schedule, causing production of Ladd's next film, Saigon, to be postponed.

The film was retitled Wild Harvest in December.

The wheat field fire was filmed in part by using miniatures and special effects. These were overseen by Byron Haskin, his last assignment in that capacity for Paramount before he became a director.
