    • Trivia
      Loretta Young was pregnant with her son Christopher Lewis during shooting and was told by her doctor to take it easy because of all the horseback riding she had to do during filming.

      When Cherry shoots Melody's hat, the bullet enters on the front up near the crown. As Melody walks away, no exit hole is seen anywhere, either in the top of the crown or out the back of the hat.
    • Quotes

      George Fury: Who is it?

      Melody Jones: That used to be Packard, the Express Company fella.

      George Fury: Well that cinched the duck! Now they got a corpus delicti!

      Melody Jones: A what?

      George Fury: A dead body! That's the way the law says it. Corpus delicti. Means that if they got a corpse, you're delicti! Before this, even if they hung ya, we could have proved it was a mistake.

    Veru entertaining
    I liked it a lot. A movie that didn't get the recognition it deserves. Typical Gary Cooper, terse and insightful in the fashion of the times. I will never forget the song he sang that goes on and on. I was a kid when I saw this and memorized about 20 verses of "Old Joe Clark" back then. Loretta played a good part and her role should be emulated by the fairer gender today. Dan Durey played his usual tough guy role, but did a credible job. I would like to see it come out again or perhaps a remake, however, I don't know anyone in Hollywood that can imitate Cooper. Just for grins this was the movie we watched in Denver when we were inducted in the Army. Black and white is a medium that should live forever.
