After award-winning composer Leonard Rosenman recorded a score for the film, which he personally didn't care for but was given freedom to be experimentally creative, the score was rejected. While Jerry Goldsmith is credited with "Music" on the film's credits, the credit is misleading as he composed no original score for the film, instead it was tracked with cues from four other films he scored: 100 Rifles (1969); Rio Conchos (1964); Morituri (1965) and Stagecoach (1966) . Which is why he did not receive a credit like "Original Music composed & Conducted by".
This motion picture is set in 1909 Arizona, which is arguably right at the end of the old wild American western frontier era. If not, it already ended by the 1890s.
In his book "The Actor's Life" (1979), Charlton Heston says that Sean Connery and Robert Shaw were considered for the role of Zach Provo, and that Jack Smight and possibly Stuart Rosenberg were considered for the director. In the end, James Coburn played the part of Provo, and Andrew V. McLaglen, the veteran director of Westerns, stepped into the director's chair.
Brian Garfield did an uncredited rewrite on the script during production. The script is very faithful to his source novel.
The deputy called Buck is played by James Bacon, a veteran Hollywood columnist and biographer; studios frequently gave him bit parts hoping for the additional publicity.
"Zach Provo: You don't die for women. You kill for them."
"Pima County Sheriff Noel Nye: This came in about six o'clock. Twenty two escaped. They've captured or killed fifteen so that leaves seven. Sam Burgade: Hmm. Gant. Weed: he could track a duck across a pond. Shiraz: a knife. Lee Roy Tucker: that coyote sniffed under every boulder in the territory. Mike Shelby: nineteen years old, in for life. Menendez: that must be Cesar Menendez. Real handsome lookin' man - cut the head off a little gal in Nogales one time. Said he wanted her earrings. Pima County Sheriff Noel Nye: And Zach Provo. Sam Burgade: I though he was dead."
