Success
The film became one of the most ambitious projects of the American film industry at the end of the Great Depression . Producer Irving Talberg spent an incredible amount of $ 2 million on filming in Oceania . Despite the extraordinary budget and skepticism of film magnate LB Mayer , another large-scale Talberg project was one of the most successful for MGM Studios. This is the last film awarded with an Oscar only in the most prestigious nomination for "Best Film" and no other.
Studio Warner Bros. responded to the bounty-generated movie mode for sea adventures with Captain Blood with Errol Flynn in the title role.
