    • Trivia
      On September 29, 1949, four horses were injured and two killed while shooting a horse stampede scene. That same day, a 30-minute rainstorm caused a flash flood, which ruined about $10,000 of Technicolor photographic equipment. Hendrix came to the filming with a still-painful broken foot she had suffered earlier. She had nosebleeds and shortness of breath from the altitude in Utah, and in one scene, she was stung on the neck by yellow jackets. Murphy, already troubled with ulcers, nightmares, and PTSD from his war experiences, had severe cracked and blistering on his lips from the sun and literally could not smile due to the pain. Because Universal-International felt this was too noticeable on screen at times, after main production ended, a few of his scenes were re-shot later at Universal Studios. Main filming ended on October 3 and the next day, back in Hollywood, Hendrix announced that she and Murphy were separated.

    An average Audie Murphy western with Burl Ives' music
    It has been a number of years since I have seen this film, but it contained a number of songs by Burl Ives I have never heard elsewhere. For me Burl Ives' music made an average film quite memorable. I would really like to buy a DVD, or even a VHS of it. The first concert I ever attended was a Burl Ives concert in Ames Iowa about 1958. the last was one of his last, in Lubbock Texas, about a year before his death.
