Trivia:
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Theron is shooting cans off a fence for target practice. However, every time he hits a can, it shoots straight up in the air instead of backwards. There are probably pneumatic jets hidden behind the fence rail to knock the cans off.

Quotes:
Capt. Wade Hunnicutt:
...Kind of man that walks around with nothing in his pockets, no identification because everyone knows who you are. No cash because anyone in town would be happy to lend you anything you need. No keys 'cause you don't keep a lock on a single thing you own. And no watch because time waits on you.

This is a great unsung movie. Robert Mitchum plays the perfect strong macho father of the fifties. If you're a bleeding heart or one of those politically correct people, and an animal lover. Stay away from this movie! When Dr. Phil was going to school, this was required reading on how not to be a father, mother, son or family for that matter.
Mitchum has two sons in this movie. One is by his wife's played by Eleanor Parker, who is cold as ice to Mitchum affections, and the other from a woman on the wrong side of town. But she is long dead and we never get to see her. A young George Peppard plays that son. I think this is one of Peppard greatest acting jobs.
This is a great must see movie if you like hunting and watching a son being brought up by a strong father and over loving mother. But I'm afraid you will have to catch it on cable if you're lucky. This film like many of Mitchum's films are not available on DVD
