Ramona is a 1936 American Drama Western film directed by Henry King,[3] based on Helen Hunt Jackson's 1884 novel Ramona. This was the third adaptation of the film, and the first one with sound. It was the fourth American feature film using the new three strip Technicolor process. It starred Loretta Young and Don Ameche. Filming started on May 11, 1936 and ended on June 29, 1936.
The New York Times praised its use of new Technicolor technology but found the plot "a piece of unadulterated hokum." It thought "Ramona is a pretty impossible rôle these heartless days" and Don Ameche "a bit too Oxonian" for a chief's son.[4]
The film's copyright was renewed on June 16, 1964.[5]
