Did you know

• Clint Eastwood (Keith Williams) reportedly described this movie as "probably the lousiest western ever made".

• Scott Brady, with over ten years experience as an above-the-title star and the authority to carry the film's leading role, received $25,000 for this movie, while Clint Eastwood, a relative newcomer with very little experience, was paid $750.

• Clint Eastwood had such a miserable time making this film and was so disappointed with how it turned out, he considered quitting show business. Fortunately, his then-wife, Margaret Neville Johnson, convinced him to stick with it; shortly thereafter, he was cast in Rawhide (1959).
