Trivia
It was while filming this movie that Alan Hale Jr. got his casting call for Gilligan's Island (1964). He had to ride out of Zion National Park in Zion's Canyon, Utah on horseback to the highway and hitchhike to Las Vegas to fly out to the interview.

Goofs
At around the 56-57 minute mark after the fight between Logan Keliher ( Murphy ) and Sam Ward ( McGavin ) when Ward escapes by a running-mount of a horse, the "special" left-side stirrup can be seen as the stunt double rides away.

Quotes
Seida: Logan, don't take any chances. I don't want you to kill him. But if it has to be you or him - if it comes to that - I want you to come back.

One Motley Posse

In tis Western AudieMurphy is a rancher and former Texas Ranger charged with bringing in Darren McGavin the lone survivor of a gang that robbed a bank. Wounded McGavin got away with the loot

The posse Murphy winds up with is one motley crew, a scurvy a lot as you'd come across. Bringing McGavin back Murph has as much to fear from them as he does from the Apaches they run into,

McGavin was a Texas Ranger who did turn outlaw. He was also at one time married to Murphy's wife Beverley Owen and Murphy is raising Kevin Tate who is McGavin's son as his own.

Lots of tension and action in this western. A lot of familiar faces in this cast. A standout performance is that of Ruta Lee as the outlaw moll. She's one cynical lady who takes life as it comes.

A good one fom Audie Murphy.
