Stronghold is a 1951 American-Mexican historical film directed by Steve Sekely and starring Veronica Lake, Zachary Scott and Arturo de Córdova. A separate Spanish version Red Fury was also made.
The film was Zachary Scott's first after he finished his contract with Warner Bros. It was shot at Filmadora Studios in Mexico City.
Rights to the film transferred to Nacional Financiera SA, a Mexican government controlled corporation. In 1962 a lawsuit was filed against that company claiming unpaid salaries of $142,375 plus interest; the claimants included Veronica Lake, Zachary Scott, Stanley Cortez, Steve Sekeley, and Wells Root. $13,628 had been paid to the claimants in 1956 and 1958; the defendant said this amount represented payment in full. Lake's original claim was for $47,500.
