Although most Westerns by this time were being produced in color, Delmer Daves and Charles Lawton Jr. opted to shoot this one in black and white. Lawton used red filters on his lenses, however, to give the landscape an even more starkly parched look, befitting the story's setting amid a lengthy drought.
In 2012, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
This film, along with the equally allegorical High Noon (1952), was a deciding factor in Howard Hawks deciding to make Rio Bravo (1959), a return to more optimistic, less revisionist Westerns.
Glenn Ford was originally offered the role of Dan Evans. He refused and suggested himself for the role of Ben Wade.
Approximately 20 to 25 minutes into the film Ben Wade goes to the door of the saloon, and as he looks out, whistles the theme composed for the soundtrack. This is unusual because the soundtrack music for a film is usually composed after filming is completed. The whistling was dubbed afterwards during post-production.
"Bisbee Marshal: Do I have two volunteers? First Posse Member: We gotta know what we're gettin' ourselves into. Second Posse Member: Sure... might not be safe. Bisbee Marshal: Safe! Who knows what's safe? I knew a man dropped dead from lookin' at his wife. My own grandmother fought the Indians for sixty years... then choked to death on lemon pie. Do I have two volunteers?"
"Ben Wade: Hey, you know you look kind of skinny. Emmy: I feel skinny. Ben Wade: That's all right. I don't mind a skinny girl - just so she has blue eyes to make up for it. You got blue eyes? Emmy: Brown. Ben Wade: That's all right. They don't have to be blue. [they kiss passionately]"
