Trivia
The first of four films that John Payne and Rhonda Fleming made together, the others being L'or de la Nouvelle-Guinée (1951), Le mariage est pour demain (1955), and Deux rouquines dans la bagarre (1956).

Goofs
John Payne (I)'s Capt. Croyden character and much of the cast are armed with .45-cal. Colt 1873 SAA "Peacemaker" revolvers. The story is set in 1863, a full ten years before the model was introduced by Colt. The handgun a Texas Ranger and a Union Army officer should be carrying would more than likely have been the Colt 1860 Army, a Civil War-era "cap-and-ball" pistol, yet the gun belts worn by the actors have bullet loops full of .45-cal. "Long" Colt cartridges.

Quotes
Capt. Todd Croyden: [to Madeline Zanzeeger] I don't know anything about you, except you can tie a man's stomach in knots and make his tongue feel as thick as a saddle blanket.

Nostalgia movie

Like for souper-1, this is a nostalgia film for me, the first ever seen in a cinema, in Sydney in 1950, when I was 7. Seen with my mother and 5yo brother. Could only recall the torture scene and re-watching it for the first time in 68 years makes me realise how much over the heads it would have been for 2 young boys. Not the easiest of films to follow, partly because it is rather a mishmash of genres and burns rather slowly and a bit mysteriously at times for the first hour or so. A reminder of how films used to promote smoking, something so pleasurable as to be engaged in with your dying breaths.
