Jamaica Run is a 1953 American Technicolor adventure drama film directed by Lewis R. Foster and starred Ray Milland, Arlene Dahl and Wendell Corey.
Pat Fairlie is out of the Navy now and travels to Jamaica to renew acquaintance with Ena Dacey, an old flame.
In reality, the Daceys have financial woes, but pay a mere one pound per year to lease the place, due to a long-ago bargain made after documents proving the rightful owner's purchase were lost at sea.
The film was based on a 1950 novel, The Neat Little Corpse by Max Murray, which was originally published as a magazine serial.
[2] Film rights were bought by Pine-Thomas Productions who announced it as a vehicle for Arlene Dahl in January 1952.
The impasse was resolved by the intervention of Milland's agents at MCA and filming for Jamaica Run was pushed back.
