When John Ford offered Lee Marvin the role of Gilhooley, he told the actor it didn't matter what the story was as it would be a good excuse for the cast and crew to have a free holiday in Hawaii.
Jack Warden, who played Elizabeth Allen's father, was only nine years her senior in real life.
A few years later John Wayne suggested Lee Marvin should make another film with him. However Marvin had become a major star after Cat Ballou (1965) and told Wayne that he was no longer interested in playing supporting roles. Wayne could never really believe that Marvin was being paid one million dollars per film in the late 1960s.
Because of the age difference, John Wayne felt very uncomfortable with the romantic scenes with Elizabeth Allen, and asked John Ford to cast Maureen O'Hara opposite him instead. Ford refused and replied "Are you going to be the one who tells her she's perfect because she's old?". After this movie, Wayne made the decision to confine his romantic interests to mature women.
John Wayne was somewhat embarrassed by the finished film. He later admitted his character needed to have been played by a younger actor, saying, "The script really called for a younger guy. I felt awkward romancing a young girl at my age."
"[Gilhooley about to throw bottle during fight] Michael Patrick 'Guns' Donovan: Not the brandy, you dope! Thomas Aloysius 'Boats' Gilhooley: [puts bottle carefully down on bar] Sorry!"
"Miss Lafleur: [while being pushed off by Gilhooley] Oh, you've come back to marry me. Thomas Aloysius 'Boats' Gilhooley: Oh, now look LaFleur, you're the love of my life. You're the only dame that meant anything to me, but I already told you I'd make a - [takes a big gulp of beer] Miss Lafleur: I know. Thomas Aloysius 'Boats' Gilhooley: I got a wife in Hoboken. Michael Patrick 'Guns' Donovan: ...and San Pedro, and San Diego and Norfolk, Virginia. Thomas Aloysius 'Boats' Gilhooley: That's right. You wouldn't want me to go up on a bigamy charge, would you?"
