TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Many disputes arose between photographer James Wong Howe and his associate, Technicolor photographer Wilfrid M. Cline about which colors to use in wardrobe and sets. Cline wanted bright primary colors, while Howe insisted on subdued earth tones. Since Howe got his way, after one week they were not on speaking terms and The Technicolor Company banned Howe from shooting further pictures in color; Howe did not make another color film for 10 years.

Walter Brennan (Muff Potter) and Victor Jory (Injun Joe) met while filming this movie and became lifelong friends.

A fourteen year old Anne Baxter was called in to test with a youthful Montgomery Clift as Tom, but the actor's acne was so bad at the time that the test was never made and both were sent back to New York.

Beulah Bondi replaced an ailing May Robson, but when Robson recovered more quickly than anticipated, she returned to filming and replaced her replacement, much to Miss Bondi's chagrin.

H.C. Potter was the initial director but quit over "Selznickian interference." His footage (in black and white) was completely discarded.
