- AnecdotesOn the advice of his future wife Joanna Shimkus, Sidney Poitier took over directorial duties from Joseph Sargent when he became dissatisfied with the film's point of view. As a result, this turned out to be Poitier's debut behind the camera and he would go on to direct eight more pictures.
- GaffesAfter the Preacher sees Buck saddling his horse to steal it, he puts on his hat. There is grass on the hat, but in the next shot it is gone.
- Citations
Buck: Which way are you ridin', Preacher?
The Preacher: Well, that's not exactly settled in my mind yet.
Buck: Well, you got three possibilities.
The Preacher: Oh?
Buck: North, south or east.
The Preacher: What happened to west?
Buck: We're going west.
- Générique farfeluOpening credits prologue: The Civil War was over and by law the slaves were freed. But when the promise of land and freedom was not honored, many ex-slaves journeyed out of the land of bondage in search of new frontiers where they could be free at last.
They placed their hopes in the hands of the few black wagonmasters that knew the territories of the West.
None of this came easy, for for not only did they have to overcome a hostile wilderness, but nightriders and bounty hunters were hired by persons unknown to hunt them down and turn them back to the fields.
This picture is dedicated to those men, women and children who lie in graves as unmarked as their place in history.

This Movie Has Aged Well!
I've seen this movie twice between the 70s and 90s and it was better than I remembered it being. Since his death, I've been watching everything Poitier when I find it on air. Ruby Dee, Harry, and Sidney were as great then as their legacy now. Yes, I rolled my eyes sometimes after some unbelievable scenes (a pet peeve of mine), but it was a good western with much needed black historical representation, and the viewers who have rated it here for IMDB have gotten it right on average. It's definitely moved up a bit on my list of favorite Poitier movies.
