[edit] Plot & Criticism
"Gold is Where You Find It" was, in many respects, a routine Western, lifted out of the ordinary by its early use of the newly perfected 3-strip Technicolor process, its big-budget director and cast, and its musical score. During the early spring of 1937, producer Hal B. Wallis was looking for a project to film in Technicolor, as a dry run for "The Adventures of Robin Hood", which was not ready for release. So he chose this screenplay, making it probably the first Western shot in the new process.
The plot is thin; it concerns a gold strike that causes two families to feud. Matters are complicated when a man from one family (George Brent) and a woman from the other (Olivia de Havilland) fall in love.
