Trivia

Paul Wellman wrote the novel with Cary Grant in mind as Paul Regret. However, by the time the film was made in 1961 Grant was too old for the part, and would never have taken second billing to John Wayne. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: After Regret hits Cutter with a shovel, Cutter wakes up when it starts raining. Somehow, the sky is still blue and there are strong shadows. It is only raining about 30 feet from Cutter. See more »

Quotes

Ranger Capt. Jake Cutter: It would break my heart if I had to put a bullet in your back.
Paul Regret: It would make me sad also.
