Fess Parker (Davey Crockett) and Jeff York (Mike Fink) would later go on the following year to do Disney's Old Yeller, but never have a scene together in that movie
The movie was actually two episodes of Disney's tv show spliced together and released as a profitable feature film. Walt Disney filmed his show in color even though few color tv's were being sold, yet. As a result, his Davy Crockett episodes could be turned into instant movies by stitching the episodes together.
Jeff York would appear with Fess Parker again in the TV series "Daniel Boone" ('Grizzly') in 1966.

Supporting actor Kenneth Tobey gained fame in the role of the heroic Air Force captain battling the alien in The Thing From Another World. His red hair kept him from lead roles in color films.
"[Crockett and Russel approach Fink as the Gullywhumper is secured to the boat landing] Davy Crockett: Excuse me, mister? Which one of them fellers is captain of this boat? Mike Fink: What did you say? Moose: [laughing] He wants to know who the captain is! [Fink smacks Moose] Mike Fink: How long you bush-wackers been beating the backwoods? Why, everybody knows who the captain of the Gullywhumper is! It's me! Mike Fink, King of the River! George Russel: Well, Captain, meet up with Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier. Mike Fink: Davy Crockett, huh? Well, it sure is a small world. You're about a foot shorter than you oughta be. George Russel: Don't worry, he's still a growin'. Mike Fink: Yeah, like them yarns they keep spreadin' about him. Davy Crockett: Mighty hard to live up to, sometime. Mike Fink: Well, I don't have any trouble livin' up to mine. I am the original ringtail roarer from the thunder 'n lightnin' country! I'm a real snorter and a head buster! I can out-run, out-jump, out-sing, out-swim, out-dance, out-shoot, out-eat, out-drink... Davy Crockett: Out-talk? Mike Fink: Yeah, out-talk, out-cuss and out-fight anybody in the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers put together!"
"[singing] Mike Fink: Listen to the thunder, hear the winds roar, hurricane's a comin', board up the door. Load up the cannon, call out the law, worstest calamity that folks ever saw! Girls run and hide, brave men shiver, I'm Mike Fink, King of the River!"
