    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      According to Turner Home Entertainment, the film's original negative was lost and since the original Cinecolor could not be adequately reproduced, the VHS edition was in black and white; however, whenever it is broadcast on TCM, it is telecast in acceptably good Cinecolor, apparently from an original 35mm print.
    • Goofs
      When Ike Vaughn (Gig Young) flees the fort with young Nancy Dempster, he runs and jumps on his horse and rides out of the fort through the open gate, and he is supposedly holding Nancy all the time with his left arm. But the action is rather violent, and the way he holds Nancy, you can only see her back. But her arms and legs flop around like a rag doll, which is clearly what he is holding, and not the real girl.

      Woman Dancer: You know, I can look into your eyes and see you have led a gay, romantic life. If I'm not too personal, what do you do for a living?

    I can't believe I found it!
    I was very excited to see this movie come up on the database. I remember seeing this movie in the theaters when I was young, and the song keeps going through my head, even now.

    I have not seen it on TV at all, and would really LOVE to add this movie to my library. I know that what I remember as a child and what it would be like now are two completely different things, but since it took me at least 30 years to find anyone who even knew about this movie I think is an incredible thing.

    It must have been pretty good, or I wouldn't have remembered the title, the song, or the movie all of these 50 odd years!!!!
