Curiozități

Double Dynamite is a 1951 American musical comedy film directed by Irving Cummings and starring Jane Russell, Groucho Marx and Frank Sinatra. The screenplay was written by Melville Shavelson based on a story by Leo Rosten.

Production

The film was developed as The Pasadena Story. It is based on a story written by Leo Rosten that Michael Curtiz had purchased. Curtiz hired Mel Shavelson to write the script. In February 1948, Curtiz sold the story and script to Signet Productions, Irving Cummings' production company, and they tried to arrange release through Columbia. Signet eventually secured financing with RKO Pictures.

Jane Russell was under contract to Howard Hughes, who had just bought RKO Pictures. Frank Sinatra owed a film to the studio. Russell and Marx each sing a duet with Sinatra written by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn. Marx and Sinatra sing "It's Only Money" and Russell and Sinatra deliver the romantic "Kisses and Tears".

Filming began on November 22, 1948, under the working title of It's Only Money, but Hughes changed the title to Double Dynamite as a reference to Russell's famous breasts. After filming ended on December 22, RKO closed the studio as it readjusted following Hughes' purchase of the company. Although filmed in 1948, Double Dynamite was held for several years after production and released in 1951.
