James Whitmore plays Victor Mature's father figure and helped raise him in the film, despite the fact that Mature was actually eight years older than Whitmore.
Victor Mature made this for Columbia while re-negotiating his contract with 20th Century Fox. His salary was $200,000.
Victor Mature and Anne Bancroft also appeared in "Demetrius and the Gladiators" (1954).
The HR review noted that the film marked the second time that Manuel Donde, who plays "Red Cloud," had been made "to look like a lunkhead by the Columbia scenario department" even though the Sioux chief was a "Native American genius," born 1822, died 12/10/1909. He was one of the most important leaders of the Oglala Lakota from 1868 to 1909. He was one of the most capable Native American opponents whom the U.S. Army faced in the western territories. He defeated the U.S. during Red Cloud's War, which was a fight over control of the Powder River Country in northeastern Wyoming and southern Montana.
The fort used in this movie is the same fort used in the 1956 Randolph Scott movie...7th Calvary.
"Gus: Sorry about the Colonel back. Jed Cooper: I ain't glad. Gus: Jed, you did right. And I'm proud of you. Makes me feel as though I didn't bring you up too bad after all. Jed Cooper: I didn't do it for you, Gus. Gus: She made you, didn't she? Well, most likely she wanted him dead just as much as you do, but only she couldn't. That 'll be the Christian in her. That's the part of your education that's most been sadly lacking. You ain't got no Christian in you. Jed Cooper: I ain't? Gus: No. There's two kinds of love, Jed. The way you love and the way a christian does. She can't be had your way. Jed Cooper: How the Christians do? Gus: Well, they begin with... you don't pine for another man's wife. Jed Cooper: Never? Gus: Well, maybe sometimes. But a good Christian fights it off. Jed Cooper: How? Gus: Well, he gots himself another woman. Jed Cooper: You mean a Christian loves a woman he don't like, because he can't get the one he wants? I call that real sneaky!"
"[a band of heretofore friendly Indians have just taken the trappers' rifles and furs] Jed Cooper: We never fished nor killed any more than we could eat. And we're not Blue Coats. Why are they taking it out on us? Gus: Civilization. Jed Cooper: Civilization? Gus: Civilization is creepin' up on us, lads. The Blue Coats aren't satisfied with gobblin' up all the lands east of the 'Sippi. No, they won't stop till they've pushed us over the Rockies and into the Pacific Ocean. It's a drownin' fate that awaits us all. These are calamitous times, Jed, calamitous times."
