TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Rare "bad-guy" role for Glenn Ford (I).

Columbia Pictures spent quite a bit on The Man in Colorado. At one point, the crew dynamited the side of a 1500-foot mountain in California's San Fernando Valley in order to create a deep gorge as called for by the script. And the western town they constructed was one of the largest location sets ever built by Columbia up to that time. During filming of a massive fire scene at the end, however, the set caught fire uncontrollably, and Holden and Ford tried to actually fight the fire until firemen could arrive. "Dad came away coated in black soot, with burns to his arms and hands," Ford's son Peter later wrote.

Edmond Goulding and Charles Vidor were at first named to direct the film, but Henry Levin eventually made it.

Final film of Cy Schindell.
