TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Stuntman Jim Sheppard was killed when a horse that was dragging him veered from its course and caused him to hit his head on a fence post. The scene appears in the movie, although it was cut right before Sheppard's fatal accident.

Most Western movies are set during the second half of the 19th century, with some being set in the first half of the 1800s, but this Western was set in the middle of the 20th century in 1945.

To prepare for her role as Ella Connors, Jane Fonda learned roping and riding skills in order to partake in a stampede and cattle roundup in this movie. Fonda would practice at a ranch in the San Fernando Valley and at the filming location in the Wet Mountain Valley of Colorado where Fonda lived on a ranch, worked the cows, polished her lassoing skills, and assessed how ranch land cattle work was organized.

Second of three collaborations between Jane Fonda and Director Alan J Pakula. The movies include Klute (1971), this movie, and Rollover (1981).

Debut theatrical feature film of Mark Harmon.
