    • Trivia
      Talking about his personal life, Comanche Todd (Richard Widmark) said that his wife was 22 when she was killed with her 2 sons. Also said "Billy told that you were going to get married, have you been broken?" Jenny's answer "No, I am saving for marriage", passed the censors, (By been broken, he referred to breaking horses).
    • Goofs
      During the last third of the film, Tommy Rettig's hair goes from being long and fair, with a fringe, to being short and dark and brushed back and then back again on two occasions.
    • Quotes

      [after capturing Todd, Sheriff Harper offers to join Colonel Normand's wagon train]

      Col. Normand: He's safe in your custody, I suppose. It's just that we got women and children with us.

      Sheriff Bull Harper: He'll be safe. The first time he don't look safe, he'll get dead.

    Pretty good movie until the end
    Widmark plays the anti-hero who comes to the aid of teenagers who survived an Indian attack. As usual widmark is great and i esp loved the hateful sheriff played by george matthews who is gonna turn criminal widmark in for the reward . He treats widdy just awful and eventually widmark cleaves him open with a hatchet!!! You don't get to see the hatchet land, but it's still a great scene cause the slimeball had it comin'. Three teenage girls in the film are very attractive and the scenery is spectacular. I won't tell the ending of course, but lets just say it's pretty sappy and didn't jibe with the rest of the movie which was quite cynical. All in all, surprisingly good for a 50 year old western. I'll give it a B+.
