Haunted Gold
1932 film
Haunted Gold is a 1932 American pre-Code Western film directed by Mack V. Wright and starring John Wayne. The picture was released by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is a remake of the 1928 film The Phantom City, starring Ken Maynard and his horse Tarzan. Filmed in 1932, two years before the implementation of Hollywood's Production Code, the film contains several racial slurs involving the black character "Clarence Brown" (played by Blue Washington). It was one in numerous live-action films to be produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions, which is better known for its animated short film series Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. The film featured an animated intro sequence by courtesy of Harman-Ising Productions, which produced both series for Leon Schlesinger and Warner Bros. Pictures.
