Years after the production was first shown in public, the producers of the film admitted that, in the scene where Capucine is trying to laugh, she was actually tickled on her feet and that her laughs and pleas for mercy were entirely genuine.
The day after Johnny Horton's recording of the theme song was released, he was killed in a car crash. Despite the singer not being around to promote the record, it reached #1 on the country charts and #4 on the Hot 100. It also reached #23 in the UK.
Final Hollywood film of Stewart Granger.
Richard Fleischer was originally hired to direct the picture. He accepted, but when he asked to see the script he was informed that one hadn't been written yet. Also, after talking with Capucine, he thought she was all wrong for the role of the prostitute - he didn't think she was sexy or earthy enough to convince anyone that she was a hooker, and he informed producer Charles K. Feldman of his conclusion and asked that she be replaced. Unfortunately for Fleischer, Feldman and Capucine were living together at the time and he had already promised her the role. So Capucine got the part and Fleischer got the boot. He was replaced by Henry Hathaway. Capucine's lusty abandonment in the role proved Fleischer wrong, and she would go on to portray another prostitute two years later, giving a shattering performance as the ill-fated Hallie Gerard in Walk on the Wild Side (1962).
In the final fight scene you can actually see John Wayne without his wig as he falls backwards after being punched.
"Ole: [after Sam has left to get Angel a coffee refill] Angel! Don't you remember me? I'm Ole, the logger. Angel: Oh, please go away. Ole: I was going to come up to see you tonight. Angel: [as Ole paws her] No. I said please go away. Let me go! Sam McCord: [Sam returns, sees what is happening, and knocks out Ole with one punch; says to Angel] Brought you some coffee. Angel: [surprised] Wasn't that man a friend of yours? Sam McCord: [matter-of-factly] Sure. Still is - or will be, when he sobers up. Angel: Well, why did you do it, then? Sam McCord: Habit, I guess. I guess a fella gets sore, and... What's the matter? Haven't you ever had a fella fight over you before? Angel: Well, over me, yes, but... never for me. Sam McCord: Well, I... I guess I got sore, that's all. Angel: Why did you get sore? Sam McCord: Well, how do I know? A fella gets sore, that's all."
"Sam McCord: Ahh, women! I never met one yet that was half as reliable as a horse!"
