Production
editReeves and Byrd and producer William Stephens had just madeJungle Goddessfor Lippert and were signed for this follow up, originally calledGreen Gold.It was reported the film would be the first of 12 movies Stephens would make for Lippert "which is a hearty assignment for a moviemaker but apparently Stephens has a formula for production", according to theLos Angeles Times.[1]
Filming started in early September, 1948,[2]atNassour Studios.[3]
Inspired byJungle Goddess,producer William Stephens announced he wanted to make four films a year starring Reeves and Byrd as a "Captain Flagg-Sergeant Quirt sort of team", starting with this one. The second one would beBanana Boatby John Wilste. (Stephens was also going to makeThree Alarm Fireby Arthur Caesar.)[2]However conditions to film background scenes in South America, whereBanana Fleetwas set, were not ideal so instead Stephens madeHell on Wheels(which becameHighway 13,also based on a story by Wilste).[4]Neither Reeves nor Byrd starred in that film.
