      Loosely based on "Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshal" by Stuart N. Lake. The characters were changed and only certain incidents from the book were used.
    • Goofs
      After Bull finishes opening the can Logan started for him, he drinks out of it. In real life, his mouth would have been cut by the jagged rim left by the can opener.

    "Some call me Chino"
    It demonstrates that black & white was perceived as the default position for serious postwar Hollywood cinema that this character-driven western potboiler was one of the very few colour films namechecked in Robert Warshow's 'The Immediate Experience'.

    As for the film itself the most memorable characters are Cameron Mitchell as a doctor succumbing to headaches and blackouts due to a brain tumour and Corinne Calvet usually with a cigar protruding from her glossy red lips and wearing bright colours as a brassy 'businesswoman' known to the rest of the cast as 'Frenchie'.
