2* DyeingForYourArt: Director Elliot Silverstein told Creator/RichardHarris at the onset of production that they planned to shoot Harris in the nude for a scene in the film, with total front and rear views. In order to lose some weight, Harris gave up drinking for the duration of the shoot, only to have the filmed scene cut from the final version of the film.
3* FakeNationality: Most of the Sioux characters are played by non-Indigenous actors; Judith Anderson (Australian), Jean Gascon (French-Canadian), Creator/ManuTupou (Fijian), Corinna Tsopei (Greek), Manuel Padilla Jr. (Mexican-American), and Creator/IronEyesCody (Sicilian-American).
