* CreatorBacklash: Creator/JohnFord called this "the worst piece of crap I've made in 20 years". He hated the material, believing he had done a far better treatment of the theme in ''Film/TheSearchers''. Even after he brought in his most trusted screenwriter, Frank Nugent—the man responsible for ''The Searchers'' and nine other Ford classics—to fix the script, the director said it was "still crap."
* DawsonCasting: Richard Widmark was initially reluctant to make the film, since he felt he was 15 years too old for the young lieutenant he played.
* MoneyDearBoy: Creator/JohnFord did the film for the money ($225,000 plus 25% of the net profits) and as a favor to Creator/ColumbiaPictures head Harry Cohn, who died in 1958.
* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/JimmyStewart in a western and he's playing an AntiHero.
