Zanuck in charge of production, directed by Allan Dwan and starring Tyrone Power, Loretta Young, and Annabella. It is very loosely based on events surrounding the construction, between 1859 and 1869, of the Suez Canal, planned and supervised by French diplomat Ferdinand de Lesseps. The screenplay is so highly fictionalized that, upon the film's release in France, de Lesseps' descendants sued (unsuccessfully) for libel. ## Credits - **Director:** [Allan Dwan](https://cinepixo.com/people/allan-dwan) - **Screenplay:** [Philip Dunne](https://cinepixo.com/people/philip-dunne), [Julien Josephson](https://cinepixo.com/people/julien-josephson) - **Original Music Composer:** [Louis Silvers](https://cinepixo.com/people/louis-silvers) - **Producer:** [Darryl F.
