Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Macao or Gambling Hell is a 1942 French drama film directed by Jean Delannoy and starring Sessue Hayakawa, Mireille Balin and Henri Guisol. It is based on the 1938 novel of the same title by Maurice Dekobra. It was shot at the Victorine Studios in Nice. The film's sets were designed by the art director Serge Piménoff. When production began in 1939, Erich von Stroheim was cast in the role of Werner von Krall. Production delays and the German occupation of France in 1940, meant that the film's completion and release was delayed. The scenes with Von Stroheim had to be re-shot at Cité Elgé in Paris, with Pierre Renoir taking over the role for a 1942 release. Only after the Liberation was the original version screened.
