Released less than 10 years after the death of the real Annie Oakley.
The first Western for both director George Stevens and star Barbara Stanwyck. Stevens of course would go on to make one of the definitive films in the genre - Shane (1953).
Barbara Stanwyck had become increasingly frustrated with the type of roles her studio, Warner Brothers, was providing for her and so had started freelancing. This was her first film for RKO.
Jean Arthur turned down the lead role.
A brief shot of Jim Thorpe, the great Native American Indian athlete, can be seen in one of the crowd scenes.
"Toby Walker: Well dog my cats!"
"MacIvor: Oh, oh, that's not for ladies. Vera Delmar: [entering saloon] Oh, I'm no lady. First man: Pardon me, miss. This is a saloon. Vera Delmar: Oh, how cozy. Second man: Well, I've lived for sixty years and that's the first time I ever saw a woman goin' into a saloon. First man: Next thing you know they will be smoking cigarettes. Second man: Oh, talk sense, man, talk sense."
