A little trivia regarding Henry Brandon, who played the arrogant Capt. Danette in this, plus the Comanche Chief Scar in The Searchers. In 1934, at the age of 22, he played the evil Mr. Barnaby in the Laurel & Hardy classic, Babes In Toyland.

The story of Borgnine and Bronson going for smokes in full costume and getting stopped by Federales reminds me of a story I heard the late Jim Backus tell on Johnny Carsons Tonight show years ago. Backus was one of the cast members of the movie Androcles And The Lion made back around 1950. Also in the cast were Victor Mature and Alan Young. During a lunch break, Mature and Backus decided to go to some little cafe to eat off the set and in full Roman soldier costumes, armor included. When they walked to and sat down to order, everybody in there just stared at them unbelievingly. Finally, Mature broke the ice, when he said, "what's the matter, don't you serve members of the armed forces"?
