Interesting facts

Golddigger, also known as The Gold Digger, is a 1914 Hungarian film directed by Michael Curtiz.

Production

Golddigger was loosely based on a short story by Bret Harte about the California gold rush of the nineteenth-century. Ferenc Molnár wrote the script; writer Alan K. Rode theorized that Molnár wrote the script within a few days after creating a brief scenario with Curtiz. Rode called the film "an example of how filmmakers of the period routinely appropriated novels and stories produced in other countries without any consideration of copyright."
