| 1 | * AdaptationDisplacement: The film is much more well known than the story that inspired it. |
| 2 | * AntiClimaxBoss: Tom Dunson turns out to be this when the fight suddenly interrupted be Tess, being the pacifist she is. |
| 3 | * AwardSnub: |
| 4 | ** It received two UsefulNotes/AcademyAward nomination for Best Screenplay and Editing and didn't win either. |
| 5 | ** It wasn't nominated for Best Picture, Director, Actor, Cinematography or Score. Creator/MontgomeryClift was nominated, albeit for ''Film/TheSearch''. |
| 6 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Music/DmitriTiomkin at his most EPIC! This score is so awesome, he even recycled part of it (sort of) for a scene in ''Film/RioBravo''. |
| 7 | * SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: One of Creator/JohnWayne's best performances. After seeing Wayne's performance, Creator/JohnFord is quoted as saying, "I never knew the big son of a bitch could act". |
| 8 | * HilariousInHindsight: Walter Brennan's character is named [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014 "Groot"]]. |
| 9 | * HoYay: Matt and Cherry. Particularly the scene where they compare guns. It helps that Creator/MontgomeryClift and Creator/JohnIreland apparently had an affair during filming. |
| 10 | * MemeticMutation: The final showdown between Matt and Dunson. [[NeverLiveItDown For more reason than one.]] |
| 11 | * MoralEventHorizon: When Dunson wants to hang two cowhands as "deserters". |
| 12 | * NeverLiveItDown: The anti-climatic final showdown which unrealistically gets broken up by Tess abruptly after two hours of animosity. |
| 13 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/ShelleyWinters has a bit-part as a dance hall girl. |
