    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Even though she had to do several scenes with them, Linda Darnell was allergic to horses.
    • Goofs
      About 20 mins into the movie, when Dorothy Lamour is talking to Henry Fonda from the steps of her wagon while wearing a robe, how she wears the robe changes from shot to shot. From the side view she has it discretely wrapped around her. From the font view she has it pulled tight and slightly open all the way to the waist, and is not wearing anything underneath it. In the final front view as Linda Darnell enters the scene, she has it very loosely wrapped and is wearing a slip underneath it.
    • Quotes
      • Fred Shepley: [Talking to Albany] Any thing in pants, huh!
      • Chad Hanna: Hey Joe! What's happen there, Albany ain't married to him is she?
      • Joe Duddy: No! But you'd think so the way fight, wouldn't you.
