* ExecutiveMeddling: No financial backer wanted Creator/JohnWayne to be cast in this film and Creator/JohnFord had to fight tooth and nail for Wayne to be included. Although Ford eventually won the battle, the producers insisted that Claire Trevor be given top billing because she was the better-known name at the time.

Creator Chosen Casting is when the casting of an adaptation is influenced by the creator of the work being adapted. Since this work is not an adaptation, it doesn't count.

* PrimaDonnaDirector: Creator/JohnFord liked to bully actors on the set, and this was no exception. At one point he said to Andy Devine, "You big tub of lard. I don't know why the hell I'm using you in this picture." Undaunted, Devine replied, "Because Ward Bond can't drive six horses." Likewise he attacked Thomas Mitchell, who eventually retorted, "Just remember: I saw ''Film/MaryOfScotland''", effectively humbling the director. Worst of all was Ford's treatment of Creator/JohnWayne. He called him a "big oaf" and a "dumb bastard" and continually criticized his line delivery and manner of walking, even how he washed his face on camera. However, at least part of this was to provoke the actor into giving a stronger performance; Claire Trevor recalls how Ford grabbed Duke by the chin and shook him. "Why are you moving your mouth so much?" he said. "Don't you know you don't act with your mouth in pictures? You act with your eyes." Wayne tolerated the rough treatment and rose to the challenge, reaching a new plateau as an actor. Ford helped cement the impression that Wayne makes in the film by giving him plenty of expressive reaction shots throughout the picture.

* EnforcedMethodActing: Creator/JohnFord gave Creator/JohnWayne absolute hell on the set, mocking him at every turn and being constantly critical. Eventually, the other actors felt so bad for Wayne that they got together and demanded that Ford lay off the young star—which is exactly what Ford wanted them to do. He sensed (perhaps accurately) that some of the older actors might have resented a younger player getting such a prominent part; by making himself the bad guy, he instead got them to support Wayne.
