Did you know

• In her memoir, "Intermission", Anne Baxter said Glenn Ford and Maria Schell had become very close during production, but by the time the movie premiered in Oklahoma, the two were not speaking to each other.

• The fictional town of Osage was built on three sound stages. It comprised 11 acres of land at the MGM lot, the biggest western town in the studio's history.

• The failure of this film, combined with the disastrous The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1962), created a serious setback in Glenn Ford's run as a major box-office star. He continued working steadily, then experienced a huge rebound in the supporting role of Pa Kent in Superman (1978), which guaranteed him a string of supporting roles until his retirement in 1991. He passed away in 2006 at the age of 90.
