- TriviaIn her memoir "Intermission," Anne Baxter said Glenn Ford and Maria Schell had become very close during production, but by the time the movie premiered in Oklahoma, the two were not speaking to each other.
- GoofsDuring the land rush, several men lasso an Indian driving a wagon and the rope is shown tightening around his neck as they pull him off. In the next scene, they are shown dragging him on the ground, but the rope is now around his waist.
- Crazy creditsOpening credits prologue: At high noon April 22, 1889 a section of the last unsettled territories in America was to be given free to the first people who claimed it. They came from the north and they came from the south and they came from across the sea. In just one day an entire territory would be settled. A new state would be born. They called it Oklahoma.

Featured review
Haven't read the novel, but really enjoyed the picture.
The film has so much warmth from its characters. The direction was nice. The stunt work was amazing, quite incredible how it was all achieved.
The film maybe missing the finer points of the novel, but for many people who haven't read it, the film delivers an interesting portrayl of how capitalism takes over the inner lands of America. The evolution of the characters, from being poor to being greedy. The film features many other themes, including infidelity and racism.
The picture could've been 30 minutes longer.
Glenn Ford is brilliant, as is Maria Schell, albeit with an annoying accent.
Enjoyed the direction by Mann and the photography wasn't bad at all.
Overall, an enjoyable film! See it in wide-screen.
