    • Trivia
      Once, when director John Ford called Loretta Young to the set, the actress refused to leave her trailer until she was happy with her hair. After waiting for her for a while, Ford and several grips went to her trailer and began shaking and rocking it until she came out.
    • Quotes
      • Wyatt Leigh: Have you any idea, sir, of the motive behind all this.
      • Colonel Loring Leigh: I have. A very definite idea. It was the work of a munitions syndicate. The tribe that revolted had the very latest in modern guns.
      • Wyatt Leigh: Do you mean to say, sir, that someone sold guns to the natives, and then created an opportunity for the guns to be used?
      • Colonel Loring Leigh: I do. It all fits in.
    • Crazy credits
      Manders, the butler, is listed as Mullins in the credits.
