From what I’ve read, I’d say that everybody involved in the production of “Duel in the Sun” would have been very relieved to be at the movie’s premiere at the Egyptian Theater, Hollywood Boulevard on December 31, 1946. Producer David O. Selznick wanted the movie to be his artistic follow-up to “Gone with the Wind.” Battling an amphetamine addiction, he drove the entire cast and crew nuts, ballooned the budget to a then-jaw-dropping $6 million with another $2 million in marketing. And all for a movie that ended up getting nicknamed “Lust in the Dust.”
