    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In post-production due to a musicians strike, MGM used generic music cues culled from several syndicated television shows. The studio also purchased music from the library of Capitol Records, according to the AFI Catalog entry for this picture. There was a score composed by Bronislau Kaper that went unused.
    • Goofs
      At the beginning, when Marshall Wade comes into town leading an extra horse, he throws that horse's rein onto the hitching post rail, and it drops right off. As he steps down from his horse, the other horse's rein is now tightly wound around the rail.
    • Quotes
      • Peggy Carter: Your father was a preacher?
      • Rennie: Kind of a phony evangelist. I tell ya, he was about the meanest man I've ever met in my life. He just naturally liked to beat up on anything that was smaller than him. And of course, he could always say he was beating the fear of God into ya.
      • Peggy Carter: Well, where is he now?
      • Rennie: Well, I, ah, well I hope I know where he is. He was the first man I ever killed.
