R48 Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36") (Learn More) Sutter's Gold, the 1936 James Cruze California gold rush mining adventure melodrama ("The screen's thundering drama of men mad with the greed for gold!"; "The thundering drama of gold rush days!"; "Based on Blaise Cendrar's Novel"; a highly fictionalized biography of the man who found gold on his ranch, which led to the famous 1849 California gold rush!) starring Edward Arnold (in the title role as John Sutter), Lee Tracy, Binnie Barnes, Katharine Alexander, Montague Love, Addison Richards, John Miljan, Harry Carey Sr., Bryant Washburn, Robert Warwick, Gaston Glass, Russell Hopton, William Janney (billed as "W.M. Janney"), Sidney Bracy, and Nan Gray. Note that there is an asterisk after Edward Arnold's name in the credits, which leads to an explanation that he is in the movie "by arrangement with B.P. Schulberg". It had been bought by Universal in the 1920s for Sergei Eisenstein (who finished a treatment for the film), but it was never made. William Faulkner also did a treatment of the story for Howard Hawks in 1934 but it never progressed further. Universal surely later wished they had forgotten all about it, because their 1936 movie cost $2,000,000 to make, 20 times the average Universal movie of the time, and did terribly at the box office. Also note that at the same time this movie was made, there was a German version released, called "Der kaiser von Kalifornien", which altered the story somewhat.
