Nature Provides Wanted Scene For Film
ItTOTHER NATURE came to the aid of Warner Bros, studio in a rather unexpected manner during production of the new technicolour drama, “Gold Is Where You Find It.’’ The studio needed a vast area of flooded wheat fields for the picture, but, inasmuch as the expense of actually flooding rich wheat lands would have been prohibitive, it was decided to convey a suggestion of the flood by confining the water to an area of about two acres and letting dialogue cover the rest. Then, unexpectedly, came word that a dam had broken in' the heart of the Southern Oregon wheat country and that water had spread over hundreds of acres of rolling grain. Teclmicoloiir camera crews were immediately loaded on fast planes, and the flood was photographed from every conceivable angle for incorporation into the finished production. “Gold Is Where You Find It” ifi a story of the bitter feed which raged between wheat ranchers of the Sacramento valley and the hydraulic miners in Sierra foothills back in 1870’s. It stars George Brent, Olivia de Havilland, Claude Rains and Margaret Lindsay.
