趣闻
Silver River is a 1948 American Western film directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Errol Flynn, Ann Sheridan and Thomas Mitchell. The film is based on a Stephen Longstreet story that was turned into a novel. It was produced and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Production
The film began as an original story for the screen by Stephen Longstreet, who had written Stallion Road. Longstreet said he got the historical aspects of the story from his grandfather Stephen Longstreet, a cousin of General James Longstreet.
It was bought by Warner Bros, who announced in December 1946 that they would make it as a vehicle for Humphrey Bogart with Owen Crump to produce. Warners hired Longstreet to turn his story into a screenplay.
Before the film was made, Longstreet received an offer to have his story published as a novel. In August 1947 Warners ordered 100,000 copies of the novel to be published by Ross Press.
By February 1947 Errol Flynn's name was linked to the movie. By April both Flynn and Ann Sheridan were signed as leads. Ann Sheridan later said the film "was not a good picture" and Jack Warner "was amazed that I accepted it" but that "Errol Flynn was a big box office name and women didn't get to do Westerns very often and I thought it might be a good combination and I thought that it might turn into a good picture. Unfortunately it didn't."
Raoul Walsh agreed to take on direction, determined to keep the film's star Errol Flynn on a "short leash". Flynn had gained an infamous reputation in Hollywood for his behavior and drinking habits.
