Glenn Ford turned down the lead role in Hondo (1953) because he had not enjoyed working with director John Farrow on this film.
Patricia Medina said that Glenn Ford was an actor who did not like to socialize off set with his female co-stars; he talked only to men. Another actress on the set also confirmed this.
The lines spoken by Berrien, "For my heart thy breast is enough/ For thy liberty my wings are enough" are from 'Your breast is enough', from Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair by Pablo Neruda.
According to Dave Karger on TCM about Glenn Ford, Patricia Medina later admitted she was quote "a little frightened of him at first while on location in Mexico, because he wasn't the type who liked to socialize". But later when Ford joined Medina and her husband, Joseph Cotten for dinner at their home, she found him delightful, saying, "I decided he was an actor who only liked to concentrate on work when he was on the set".
