Trivia There were tensions between Scott and Wayne during filming. Scott's contract with Universal entitled him to billing above Wayne who was on loan from Republic, but he too had wanted the role of Glennister. Wayne was also depressed by his recent separation, and Dietrich sought to distract him with outings to restaurants and sporting events as well as hunting and fishing trips on weekends. See more »
