Trivia

An alternate ending was shot where the townspeople filed out of the building where Horn was executed. The sole person left in the room was one of the "kid deputies" standing guard at the door. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: In the opening sequence, the wording says, "In 1901 he drifted into Wyoming 'Territory'". Wyoming had been a state since 1890. See more »
