    • Trivia
      This was Harry Carey Jr.'s final acting role before his death on December 27, 2012 at the age of 91.
    • Goofs
      Paul Cable uses a Richards conversion of the Colt 1860 Army revolver, and is shown shooting and reloading the revolver with cartridges. The story is set in 1865 at the close of the US Civil War, but the Richards conversion was not introduced until 1873. However, while factory made cartridge conversions may not have been readily available until this time, the movie takes efforts to address this by having Paul Cable's wife and father-in-law working on cartridge converted pistols in their workshop. This occurs early in the movie, with Cable's wife telling a young cowboy about the modifications that had been made to his Colt percussion revolver, which includes a cartridge converted cylinder and ejector rod. An allusion is also made to the fact that Cable's wife had done similar work on Cable's own revolver.

    Rights And Title
    Last Stand At Saber River finds Confederate veteran Tom Selleck mustered out of the army a few months before the end of the Civil War come home to his family in Texas to start his life again. The problem is that a family of Unionists played by David and Keith Carradine and Tracy Needham are sitting, nay squatting on the land that was his. As he's recently been making war on the US government, Selleck's rights and title to the land are in question. Forms the basis for the conflict throughout the film.

    Selleck's wife is Suzy Amis and during the war she lost a child which Selleck finds out on his return. They've got their problems to get through as well including the eternal one of the veteran coming home and just wanting to get back to civilian life.

    Playing the small role of Amis's father is Harry Carey, Jr. for whom this is his last screen role. He's reason enough to see this film which in the old days would have had theatrical release.

    Last Stand At Saber River is a good made for TV western and fans of Tom Selleck should approve.
