    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This movie had a major influence on Sergio Leone, who would later work with Robert Aldrich on Sodom and Gomorrah (1962).
    • Goofs
      Two of the dresses worn by Missy (the yellow one and the floral one in town) have zippers up the back. Not a goof: women's clothing in the 1880s was fastened with a series of hook-and-eyes attached to twill tape. The way this tape was sewn into dress and skirts is the same way modern zippers are sewn.
    • Quotes
      • Belle Breckenridge: To me, it always seems like it's the women who keep on living. Men kill or get killed and women bury them. We're professional survivors.
