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
editVariety 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]
