Margaret Blye plays the daughter of Carroll O'Connor, which is fitting since the actress was 18 years younger than O'Connor. 21 years later she would play his girlfriend in the series In the Heat of the Night (1988).

Even though actor Jay Ose is only listed as "bartender" in the credits, James Coburn referred to him by his real first name, Jay.

Excluding action during the credits, this film features approximately 665 shots in 5560 seconds - an Average Shot Length (ASL) of about 8.4 seconds.

The hotel clerk, George, produces a revolver he says was taken from John Wesley Hardin. The problem is that the movie takes place, according to the opening lines, in 1884. In that year, Hardin was in Huntsville State Prison, serving 14 years for the 1878 shooting of a Texas lawman. The shooting of Hardin by Selman in the Acme Saloon in El Paso would not occur for another 11 years: on August 19, 1895-indeed a Monday-three years after Hardin's release from prison in 1892. It is doubtful any guns were removed from Hardin that day, because the sheriff of El Paso had outlawed the carrying of firearms within city limits. The word is that Hardin was defenseless when Selman shot him in the head.

When George, the hotel clerk, gives the sheriff a handgun, he says it was taken off of John Wesley Hardin, by Constable John Selman, who had shot Hardin on a Monday afternoon at the Acme Saloon in El Paso Texas. But the opening of the movie says that the action takes place in 1884. In 1884, Hardin was in Huntsville State Prison, serving 14 years for the 1878 shooting of a Texas lawman. The shooting of Hardin by Selman in the Acme Saloon in El Paso would not occur for another 11 years: on August 19, 1895-indeed a Monday-three years after Hardin's release from prison in 1892. It is doubtful any guns were removed from Hardin that day, because the sheriff of El Paso had outlawed the carrying of firearms within city limits.

Billee goes out to the barn to gather some eggs. She's pulling eggs from right next to a chicken that remains motionless the whole time she is there.

Lewton Cole: I didn't break any law, Sheriff.

Narrator: The code of the west says do unto others... do unto others before they do it unto you.

Sgt. Henry Foggers: As we say in the Cavalry, a man without a horse is afoot.
