Trivia
The character Nevada Smith was supposed to be 16. He was played by 35-year-old Steve McQueen.

Goofs
When Max gets broken out of prison by Fitch's gang, he climbs out of the jail window with his gunbelt on. If he was in a jail cell, he wouldn't have had his gunbelt with him.

Jails then were quite different from those of today, with different standards. They had his pistol, so the gunbelt is mostly harmless.

Quotes
Pilar: Just treat me nice, Max. That's all I want.

Pretty solid western revenge drama, though not perfect

Though there isn't much here that you haven't seen before in a western revenge drama, it's pretty well done. You can understand why the protagonist turns away at any chance of a normal life and instead concentrates on nothing but revenge. And it is undeniably satisfying to see him enact his revenge any chance he gets.

It's good for what it is, though there are some problems, that if tweaked, could have made the movie even better. For one thing, casting McQueen as a half-Indian? And casting this mid-30s actor as a character that's supposed to be young enough to be called "Kid"!?!? Plus, the escape from the swamp doesn't seem finished; in fact, with the short sequence where one of McQueen's pursuers commenting on the bullets he has left makes me believe that several minutes were edited out before the movie was released.
