Production

After the success of Arabian Nights Universal requested a series of films starring Montez, Hall and Sabu. It was followed by White Savage and Cobra Woman. The studio then requested three more, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, a gypsy tale, Zorya, and a tale of the modernisation of Turkey.[3][4]

James Hogan was signed to write and direct Zorya which became Gypsy Girl then Gypsy Wildcat.[5] He fell ill so he was replaced by Roy William Neill.[6] James M Cain was hired to work on the dialogue.[7]

Filming started October 1943.[8]

The role of Tonio was meant to be played by Turhan Bey. However he was loaned at the last minute to MGM to play a role in Dragon Seed and was replaced by Peter Coe.[9] Coe was a former swimming champion, Acquacade performer and stage actor.[10] He later claimed that he and Montez had an affair.[11]

Neill reportedly was one of Maria Montez's few directors to not fight with her.[12]

"My other pictures were just corn", said Montez. "This one is more golden bantam. I'm tired of being a fairy tale princess all the time. In every picture I have royal blood. I told the studio I wanted to do something else. I thought everything was fixed when they put me in Gypsy Wildcat. But do you know what happens at the end of that picture? I turn out to be a countess."[13]
