The Red Beret Facts
This was the first movie made by British Production House, Warwick Films.
'The Hollywood Reporter' once reported during early 1951 that British actor Trevor Howard would be starring in this movie. Howard, who has starred in several movies about World War II, did not in the end appear in this movie.
According to the 2001 book 'Licence to Thrill: A Cultural History of the James Bond Films' by James Chapman, this movie grossed at the international box-office about US $ 8 million whilst its negative budget cost was around US $ 700,000.
Alan Ladd's wife, Sue Carol, had a big influence on Alan's career and contract negotiations. For this movie, she demanded it be shot in Technicolor, have a major studio's distribution guarantee and first class travel and accommodation for her, their four children and their nurse during the shoot. Sue was a catalyst in closing the deal after Alan's agent Lew Wasserman initially rejected the producers' offer of US $200,000 plus 10% of the profits.
For the lead role in this picture playing Steve MacKendrick (aka Canada), Alan Ladd was paid US $ 200,000 for eleven weeks work. Ladd also received free accommodation and first class travel for his family (his wife and four children) and their nurse. Ladd also apparently received a back-end points deal receiving 10% of gross box-office receipts over the US$2 million mark described as "deferred compensation" in United States Court of Appeals legal documents. Ladd worked on this picture from 20 September 20 1952 until 6 December 1952.
