    Trivia
    This film is the last of the "Ranown Westerns", produced by star
    Randolph Scott and his partner Harry Joe Brown under the Ranown Pictures banner.
    Scott decided to retire after this one, but two years later
    he was talked out of retirement by Sam Peckinpah for Ride the High Country.
    After that film, Scott retired for good.


    There are numerous mentions to the "Stage to Lordsburg," the original title
    of John Ford's stagecoach, which writer Kennedy is obviously including a paean to.


    After the parties leave the Comanche Station they cross a wide,
    shallow expanse of water and in the middle of the water,
    centered in the frame is a dead tree trunk that looks
    suspiciously like the hanging tree from Ride Lonesome...


    Goofs
    Plot holes
    When Cody pulls the saddle off his now fallen horse and flings it at a Comanche,
    unseating him, he doesn't take the time to unbuckle the cinch.
    Without doing that, the saddle would never have come off.
