TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The gunfight in the saloon is based on an actual gunfight that took place in the Lady Gay Saloon in Sweetwater, Texas on January 24th, 1876. The shootout involved Bat Masterson, a soldier known as Sergeant Melvin A. King (who was in reality a Corporal) and a woman named Mollie Brennan. Kings character in this movie was Sgt. Ernie King played by Charles Horvath and Mollie Brennans character was Mollie Day played by Kasey Rogers.

The opening gunfight takes place in a different (and real) Kansas town, Hays City. The climactic gunfight takes place in Dodge City and is strikingly similar to the opening in Gunsmoke (1955).

McCrea had intended for this to be his last film before retiring, and he remarked, "I've never been in a film that lost money."

Canadian-born William Barclay "Bat" Masterson (1853-1921) was a buffalo hunter and Indian scout in Dodge City, Kansas while also intermittently serving as the Ford County sheriff (from 1877-79) and a deputy U.S. marshal (1879). He made his living mostly as a saloon keeper and gambler. His brothers, Ed and James Masterson, were also Dodge City lawmen.

Final film of Lucile Sewall.

"Bat Masterson: As I told you, I'm giving you back my share of the Lady Gay. [saloon] Lily: Oh? Bat Masterson: Only this time it has nothing to do with Pauline [former love interest] Bat Masterson: . You thought when you took me in as a partner I'd be some help. All I've done is make things worse. Lily: Bat, shut up! [She kisses him passionately for the first time, declaring her love] Bat Masterson: Funny how a man has to sweat out the whole deck before he finds the ace."
