Trivia
The TV series Cheyenne (1955) starring Clint Walker was supposedly "based on" this film, although there is no actual connection beyond Warner Brothers' owning the title.
"The Screen Guild Theater" broadcast a 30 minute radio adaptation of the movie on March 22, 1948 with Dennis Morgan and Jane Wyman reprising their film roles.
Goofs
Boom mic visible
When Ann is telling Wylie to get out of the bathtub, a shadow of the boom microphone can be seen to dip down onto, then move off of the room partition between them.
Revealing mistakes
When Ed Landers turned around to shoot uphill at James Wylie who was coming in behind him, his gun went off before he was turned halfway around, when it was still pointed at the ground.
