June 19, 1963 –
Columbia Pictures’ classic Ray Harryhausen fantasy film Jason and the Argonauts, directed by Don Chaffey and starring Todd Armstrong, Nancy Kovack, Gary Raymond, and Laurence Naismith, was released in the U.S. on this date.
While filming footage of the Argo off the coast of Italy, a replica of the Golden Hind sailed into view. The film Sir Francis Drake happened to be filming in the same location. Producer Charles H. Schneer shouted, “Get that ship out of here! You’re in the wrong century!“, dispelling any tensions that arose from both shots being lost.
