This was Allied Artists' first release in CinemaScope.
Director Jacques Tourneur and Joel McCrea did three Westerns together during the 1950's: Stars in My Crown (1950), Stranger on Horseback (1955) and this film.
"Clint Wallace: [a solitary figure on horseback appears in the distance] What do you make of him, Ben? Ben Thompson: Well, he's no Indian. Clint Wallace: Could be a scout for some rustlers. This country's full of 'em. Ben Thompson: He's headin' this way and he's not hidin'. He's probably some pilgrim looking for a free meal. Clint Wallace: He's welcome to that. We're not takin' any chances. Ben Thompson: Al, go out and check up on that rider. Al: How much checkin up you want? Ben Thompson: Make sure he's alone, that's all. If he has got a bunch behind him we'll know in plenty of time to be ready for him."
"Ben Thompson: [examining Earp's revolver] That's a nice gun. Yeah,it wouldn't do for us Texans, though. [comparing barrel lengths] Ben Thompson: We like ours regulation size. Clint Wallace: Yeah, don't ever get into an argument with a Texas man when you're carrying that thing. Must take you a half hour to clear leather with it. Wyatt Earp: The only arguments I've had lately have been with buffalo, and they don't draw very fast, you know."
