Trivia
One of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since. It was released on DVD 8 May 2007 as one of of 4 titles in Universal's Classic Western Roundup Volume 2.
On March 23, 1938 Randoph Scott was carrying Joan Bennett during the filming of a mob scene,
when an actor playing a soldier lost his balance and struck Bennett in the face with his bayonet,
causing a cut that required her to go to the hospital.
An item about it was carried in newspapers throughout the country, often close to another item about her sister Constance Bennett's libel suit against gossip columnist Jimmie Fidler.
