Trivia:
One of over 700 Paramount productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by MCA ever since. moreGoofs:
Anachronisms: After the train wreck, and during all the scenes that immediately follow, Barbara Stanwyck suddenly appears with a very stylish 1939 bobbed hairstyle which we had not seen before, and which, of course, is completely inappropriate to the time period during which the story is taking place. moreQuotes:
Jeff Butler: I don't believe I'll need bodyguards.General Casement: You'll need 'em, alright.
Fiesta: You think we no good, eh?
Jeff Butler: No, it's not that...
Leach Overmile: We've had a lot of experience, Captain. We bodyguarded the last two troubleshooters right up to the very minute they was killed.

A fine example of studio-style film making. The script may not be history, but this is a movie, and not nearly as corny as most films by DeMille. The lead and supporting roles are all well cast and played. The effects are state of the art (for 1939). A film to relax by and get into.
