The Highwaymen

When Texas Ranger Frank Hamer was earlier portrayed by Denver Pyle in Bonnie and Clyde (1967), he was characterized as an incompetent fool, prompting his widow Gladys to sue Warner Brothers for defamation of his character. In 1971 an out-of-court settlement was reached.

During the movie, "FBI" is used by characters and seen on the underside of a plane.

The events of the movie took place from early Feb to May 23 in 1934.

The Bureau of Investigation (BOI or BI for short) did not change it's name to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) until 1935.

During the first part of the closing credits, photos are shown of the real people and scenes portrayed.
