Production


In September 1956 producer Lindsay Parsons announced he would make a film called The Far Wanderer from a script by Turney Walker. It was to be about seal hunting and star Sterling Hayden, also using Hayden's yacht. Filming was to begin in November 1956 and finance came from Allied Artists. Gregg G. Tallas was attached as director.
Eventually filming pushed back and Hayden dropped out, to be replaced by Barry Sullivan. However Hayden's yacht was still used. Filming began May 1958. The female lead went to Gita Hall, who was married to Sullivan at the time.
This was the sixth film version of London's novel. Larsen had been portrayed by Noah Beery Sr. in 1920 and Edward G. Robinson in 1941.
