Production[edit]
The film was the first, and only, film written and produced by film reviewer P. S. Harrison, founder of the film journal Harrison's Reports.[2]
Filming began in June 1943.[3]
It was the first notable film role for Yvonne De Carlo who was borrowed from Paramount Studios. "She later wrote, "There have been several movie versions of The Deerslayer and this was probably the least memorable, but at the time I was thrilled to be in it."[4]
Reception[edit]
Variety opined, "Harrison draws a complete blank as a producer-scenarist."[2]
Harrison's publication Harrison's Reports published their first review acknowledged not to have been written by Harrison. It was written by Abram F. Myers.[5]
