Curiosidades

Mara Maru is a 1952 American action film noir directed by Gordon Douglas and starring Errol Flynn, Ruth Roman and Raymond Burr. It is Flynn's final film for Warner Bros. Pictures, the studio where he started in Hollywood in 1935.

Production

In January 1950, Warner Bros. Pictures announced that it had purchased the film's story from Philip Yordan, Sidney Harmon and Hollister Noble. Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts were originally reported as working on the script, which focused on five war veterans who buy a Japanese war boat and salvage a sunken war vessel. Everett Freeman was assigned to produce. In July 1950, Warner Bros. announced the film for the coming year.

In May 1951, David Weisbart was announced as producer. In September, Warner Bros. announced that Errol Flynn would star and that Gordon Douglas would direct, Richard Nash had written the script.

Mara Maru was filmed at Warner Bros. and at California locations including Newport Harbor, Balboa Island, Los Angeles harbor, Catalina Island and the San Fernando Mission (doubling for a Manila cathedral).

Douglas later recalled that Flynn "was great up until three o'clock in the afternoon. Shooting a scene about 2:30 he'd be fine. I'd go to his dressing room and we'd talk and he'd have what I thought was a glass of water. It was straight up gin or vodka. Then he'd go on set and be stoned. He'd start hamming it up.
