This film is the last of the "Ranown Westerns", produced by star Randolph Scott and his partner Harry Joe Brown under the Ranown Pictures banner. Scott decided to retire after this one, but two years later he was talked out of retirement by Sam Peckinpah for Ride the High Country (1962). After that film, Scott retired for good.

Shot in 12 days.

After the parties leave the Comanche Station they cross a wide, shallow expanse of water and in the middle of the water, centered in the frame is a dead tree trunk that looks suspiciously like the hanging tree from Ride Lonesome...

When Cody pulls the saddle off his now fallen horse and flings it at a Comanche, unseating him, he doesn't take the time to unbuckle the cinch. Without doing that, the saddle would never have come off.

After leaving the station, while Cody and Lane are talking, they ride along a section of barbed-wire fence posts.

A previous reviewer claims Randolph Scott never "uncinched" his horse prior to flinging it at a rampaging Comanche. My viewing of the TCM print clearly shows Mr. Scott being thrown from his steed after the horse fell, and the saddle coming undone, falling freely to the ground, where it was easily picked up and flung at the Indian.

Dobie: Me and Frank were riding together up Val Verde way. Frank was alone, same as me. And we heard about this fella who was looking for some young guns. We've been with him ever since.

Nancy Lowe: Then my husband didn't send you for me?

Ben Lane: A lot of money has a way of making a man all greed inside.
