ProductionThe film was made by Universal Pictures, and based on a 1927 novel The Demon Caravan by Georges Arthur Surdez. It was Alan Ladd's first film for Universal since becoming a star. It was a one-picture deal and gave Ladd a percentage of the profits, a relatively novel thing at the time.[2][3] (He split profits with the studio 50-50.[4]) Joseph Pevney was assigned to direct.[5] Ladd had broken his hand during a fight scene towards the end of his most recent film The Iron Mistress, but recovered to begin work on Desert Legion on 7 July 1952.[6] Akim Tamiroff joined the support cast. It was his first Hollywood film in three years.[7]References1. ^'The Top Box Office Hits of 1953', Variety, January 13, 1954 2. ^Kramer Will Film Story of Airplane Pioneers; Ladd in 'Desert Legion'Schallert, Edwin.
