This is the only film in which married couple Richard Martin (Chito) and Elaine Riley (Jane Whipple) appeared in together. They were regarded as one of Hollywood's happiest couples, having been married for 48 years, from 1946 until Richard's death in 1994. Interesting to note that the girl-chasing Chito, whom Richard portrayed in 35 films, was vehemently against marriage.
Shot in the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine, California, off Highway 395--the scene of many dozens of westerns and the conclusion of the great "High Sierra."
In real life, Tim Holt ran rodeos. He was an excellent rider. It was in 1947, at an Oklahoma rodeo, he met the woman who would become his final wife. So, in this movie, as a rodeo star, he would have been right at home.
Holt was educated at Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana, graduating in 1936. One of his classmates was (future director) Budd Boetticher.
