    • Trivia
      The producers of this movie, William H. Pine and William C. Thomas, were known in the industry as "The Dollar Bills" because they made movies so quickly and efficiently that their films seldom, if ever, lost money. This was their most expensive production to date, mainly because of its cast of higher-paid stars. It was also their biggest hit.
    • Goofs
      Mr. Delacourt mentions the amount of "red tape" in Washington. The movie takes place during the Civil War. The term "red tape" didn't come into use till after the war when veterans had to physically go to Washington DC to collect their pensions. The piles of personnel records were tied up with red ribbons (tape), thus the term came into use.
    • Quotes

      Capt. Vance Britten: A man who is free to choose, will always choose peace.

    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits prologue: THE SANTA FE TRAIL-!

      In 1862 the Confederate Army of the Southwest was defeated and driven back into Texas . . . . .

      The trail was open . . . .

      Here lay the road to bind the Union tight . . .

      The artery to supply its bleeding troops - - with gold, food and leather from the West.

    A generally enjoyable Western
    All them Yankee writers in Hollywood usually manage to make at least one stupid mistake per script when they try to depict Southerners.

    When the Noah Beery character says to his commanding officer, played by Ronald Reagan, "Y'all gonna get us killed," it didn't quite ruin the movie -- "y'all" is a plural, and no real Southerner has ever said "y'all" to one person -- but did detract.

    The cast is quite good -- Rhonda Fleming seems almost the reason Technicolor was invented; Ronald Reagan made a great cowboy or, in this case, cavalry officer -- the story is intriguing; the battle scene near the end begins with a spine-tingling charge that, every time I see it, literally sends chills down my spine.

    Overall, the film is enjoyable, well worth watching.
