The Blackfoot tribe gave Shirley Temple the Indian name Bright Shining Star.
The Indians used in this picture are from the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana.
Became Shirley Temple's last successful film for 20th Century Fox.
Randolph Scott previously co-starred with Shirley Temple in Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (1938).
Around the same time working on the film ended, its co-stars Margaret Lockwood and Shirley Temple were going to star in their next project together, an adaptation of Henry De Vere Stacpoole's "The Blue Lagoon" that was to be co-produced with 20th Century-Fox and Gainsborough Pictures. Lockwood was to play Emmeline as an adult, while Temple was to play the character as a child. The project was suspended after the outbreak of World War II. When the project was restarted in 1944 under Sidney Gilliat and Frank Launder's newly founded company, Individual Pictures with backing from the J. Arthur Rank Organization, it was decided that Lockwood was too old to play Emmeline as a young adult and Temple should play instead that part. However, the cost overruns from Caesar and Cleopatra (1945) forced Rank to impose a ruling that the role of Emmeline should be played by an unknown. After Gilliat and Launder auditioned hundreds of females for the part of Emmeline in the British Empire, the United States, and Europe without success, they resorted to Jean Simmons once Rank suggested her to the duo after the world premiere of David Lean's adaptation of Charles Dickens's Great Expectations (1946).
"Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague: Listen, Sue, you and I are going to have a little talk. There never was anything to be afraid of that can't be cured by one little word. Do you know what that word is? Courage. It can beat the toughest situation that ever happened. You see, when you're afraid of things, the more you think of them, the bigger they get. But if you just throw your head back and say, 'I won't be scared of anything anymore,' then you're not. Susannah Sheldon: Aren't you ever afraid of anything? Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague: Well, let's put it this way. Whenever I meet up with something I'm not quite sure of, I decide first thing that everything's going to be all right. Whatever it is, I'm going to lick it. And usually, it does come out all right."
"Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague: This is Miss Susannah Sheldon. Susannah Sheldon: Just call me Sue. Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague: Now, young lady, we'll have to arrange sleeping quarters for you. Pat O'Hannegan: Where would that be, sir? Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague: Your room. Pat O'Hannegan: What? Susannah Sheldon: Am I to sleep with him? Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague: Oh, no. Pat can sleep out here on the couch. Susannah Sheldon: But I wouldn't want to take Mr. Pat's room. Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague: Oh, that's all right. Pat'll be very comfortable, won't you, Pat? Pat O'Hannegan: Oh, yes, sir."
