Curiosidades

Rocky Mountain is a 1950 American Western film directed by William Keighley and starring Errol Flynn. It also stars Patrice Wymore, who married Flynn in 1950. The film is set in California near the end of the American Civil War.

Production

The film was originally titled Ghost Mountain, the title of the original story by Alan Le May. Ronald Reagan badly wanted to do a Western at the time and said that Jack Warner promised he could star in one if the actor found an ideal story. Reagan claimed he discovered Ghost Story and helped negotiate its purchase by Warners through his agent, MCA. Warner Bros.

In March 1950 Ghost Mountain was put on Warners' schedule. By April the film was retitled Rocky Mountain and Flynn was given the lead role over Reagan, to the latter's annoyance, as he felt he had brought the story to the studio. Reagan left Warner Bros soon afterwards. (Flynn had meant to do another Western, Carson City, but it was felt that script was not as ready.) Winston Miller was brought in to write the script.

In May Lauren Bacall was assigned to play the female lead under her contract with Warner Bros but turned it down and was suspended as a result. Bacall said at the time:

I turned it down because it's just not a part. It's kind of nothing. I'm not angry, I'm just incredulous. I've never been offered a role like this before. I don't want to do it and they shouldn't have to pay me. I shouldn't imagine they'll have any trouble replacing me.

Bacall was replaced by Patrice Wymore, a dancer who had recently been put under contract to Warners. By July, Bacall terminated her contract with Warners.
