    Storyline

    • Trivia
      James Whitmore plays Victor Mature's father figure and helped raise him in the film, despite the fact that Mature was actually eight years older than Whitmore.
    • Goofs
      The Colonel takes over the Captain's command without any orders after he loses his own. The Captain even mentions it once, but is casually dismissed by the Colonel since he is the Captain's superior officer. It has never worked that way in the Army, a superior officer cannot take over a junior officer's command without official orders, and if he tries to, the junior officer and his staff have every right to place the superior officer under arrest, especially if he endangers the entire command (and given that the Colonel has twice lost entire commands, this is not an unrealistic danger).
    • Quotes

      Gus: Sorry about the Colonel back.

      Jed Cooper: I ain't glad.

      Gus: Jed, you did right. And I'm proud of you. Makes me feel as though I didn't bring you up too bad after all.

      Jed Cooper: I didn't do it for you, Gus.

      Gus: She made you, didn't she? Well, most likely she wanted him dead just as much as you do, but only she couldn't. That 'll be the Christian in her. That's the part of your education that's most been sadly lacking. You ain't got no Christian in you.

      Jed Cooper: I ain't?

      Gus: No. There's two kinds of love, Jed. The way you love and the way a christian does. She can't be had your way.

      Jed Cooper: How the Christians do?

      Gus: Well, they begin with... you don't pine for another man's wife.

      Jed Cooper: Never?

      Gus: Well, maybe sometimes. But a good Christian fights it off.

      Jed Cooper: How?

      Gus: Well, he gots himself another woman.

      Jed Cooper: You mean a Christian loves a woman he don't like, because he can't get the one he wants? I call that real sneaky!

    The Savage Vic Mature!!!
    While this picture may be minor Anthony Mann, it's a very off-beat, well acted, western. Mature is the anti-thesis of Mann's uber-hero, the driven, edgy loner played to perfection by Jimmy Stewart. Mann plays to Mature's strengths by casting him as the uncivilized, passion driven scout given to bouts of raucous drunkenness. Robert Preston is very good as the obsessed, kill-crazy Colonel whose wife (Anne Bancroft) Mature covets He also slugs her! Wow! Savage Mature!
