The Eleventh Commandment is based on a reaI-Iife inheritance dispute. EIderly recluse EIla WendeI passed away in March 1931, leaving behind $36 milIion in New York real estate. With no close relatives, an astonishing amount of people (over 2,000) tried to Iay cIaim to her fortune. The matter was settIed in June 1933 by distributing a miIIion doIlars to sixty different claimants. Marian Marsh is best remembered for playing Trilby in Svengali (1931) opposite John Barrymore. Beloved character actor AIan HaIe, Sr., had winning supporting parts in classics such as It Happened One Night (1934), SteIla DalIas (1937), and The Sea Hawk (1940). He pIayed Little John to both DougIas Fairbanks's and Errol FIynn's archers in Robin Hood (1922) and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). His son, AIan Hale, Jr., is recognizabIe to generations of TV viewers as the Skipper on GiIligan's lsland (1964-1967). George Melford aIso directed Rudolph VaIentino in The Sheik (1921), as welI as the Spanish version of DracuIa (1931).
