Gold Is Where You Find It

Gold is Where You Find It is a 1938 American romantic drama film directed by Michael Curtiz and starring George Brent, Olivia de Havilland, and Claude Rains. Based on a story by Clements Ripley, with a screenplay by Warren Duff and Robert Buckner, the film is about the rivalry between farmers and miners in the Sacramento valley during the years following the California Gold Rush. The feud between two families is complicated when a man from one family and a woman from the other fall in love. This Technicolor feature film was released on February 12, 1938 by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Gold is Where You Find It was, in many respects, a routine Western, lifted out of the ordinary by its early use of the newly perfected 3strip Technicolor process, its bigbudget director and cast, and its musical score. During the early spring of 1937, producer Hal B. Wallis was looking for a project to film in Technicolor, as a dry run for The Adventures of Robin Hood, which was not ready for release. So he chose this screenplay, making it probably the first Western shot in the new process, and second Warner Bros. movie to be shot in new Technicolor.
