Trivia
One of two films co-produced by Transcona Enterprises for Warner Brothers,
which consisted of Judy Garland and her then husband Sidney Luft,
the other film being A Star Is Born (1954).
The third Transcona production was to be The Helen Morgan Story (1957) to star Garland,
but after the tepid box office performance of 'Star', Garland and Luft bought out
the rest of their contract with Warners.
Filmed in 3D, but released only in standard 2D version.
Opening credits: Forward During the early days when civilization was pushing
its frontiers farther and farther West, there roamed a special breed of men...
neither outlaws nor officers of the law, yet more feared than either.
For reward money...they tracked down criminals, wanted Dead or Alive,
and made themselves both judge and executioner in some lonely court of no appeal.
They were called "Bounty Hunters".
