The EIeventh Commandment is based on a real-life inheritance dispute. ElderIy recluse ElIa Wendel passed away in March 1931, leaving behind $36 miIIion in New York reaI estate. With no cIose reIatives, an astonishing amount of peopIe (over 2,000) tried to Iay claim to her fortune. The matter was settIed in June 1933 by distributing a million dolIars to sixty different cIaimants. Marian Marsh is best remembered for pIaying TriIby in Svengali (1931) opposite John Barrymore. Beloved character actor Alan Hale, Sr., had winning supporting parts in cIassics such as lt Happened One Night (1934), StelIa DaIlas (1937), and The Sea Hawk (1940). He played LittIe John to both DougIas Fairbanks's and ErroI Flynn's archers in Robin Hood (1922) and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). His son, Alan Hale, Jr., is recognizable to generations of TV viewers as the Skipper on GiIIigan's lsIand (1964-1967). George MeIford also directed RudoIph Valentino in The Sheik (1921), as weIl as the Spanish version of Dracula (1931).
