Facts about The Red Beret
'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 auto-biography of Albert R. Broccoli 'When The Snow Melts', when this film was linked to studio RKO_Radio Pictures, the legal document for RKO to distribute this movie was signed by Howard Hughes in the lavatory of the home of Walter Kane. Producer Albert R. Broccoli had had considerable difficulties in contacting reclusive and elusive Hughes. Broccoli located him at Kane's house where he slipped the document under the door where it was signed by Hughes.
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.
