John Wayne, a producer on the film, gave the female lead to Gail Russell, his co-star from Angel and the Badman (1947) and Wake of the Red Witch (1948), despite being warned that she looked 20 years too old to play a character in her mid-20s. Russell had not made a film in five years and had a serious drinking problem which would later end her life at age 36.
After John Wayne decided not to star in this film, the lead role was offered to Gary Cooper, who turned it down.
Both Budd Boetticher and writer Burt Kennedy hated the title song and lobbied to have it eliminated when the film was restored, but Batjac and UCLA insisted the film be shown in its original form.
This film was the beginning of a collaboration between Randolph Scott and the director, Budd Boetticher, that revived Scott's career. They made six more films together over the next few years. Scott himself credited the film with reviving a dead career.
Fred Sherman, who played the prospector that Randolph Scott called "old timer", was actually 7 years younger than Scott.
