Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough the story is fictional, the town of Jacksonville, Oregon is not. In this movie it's very remote, with few residents and it hardly qualifies as a town at all. And its real-life history is having been founded as a gold mining town, as in this movie.
- GoofsWhen people are shot by an arrow, there is obvious padding underneath the costume.
- Quotes
George Camrose: You have strange friends, Jack.
Jack Lestrade: I didn't say that I like him or that I trust him.
George Camrose: What's your idea of a friend?
Jack Lestrade: Any man, I suppose, who believes as I do that the human race is a horrible mistake.
- Crazy creditsIn place of the glittering black-&-white Art Deco glass globe ("A Universal Picture") with rotating stars that opened Universal films from 1937-46, this early Universal Technicolor film opens with a still card, a colored globe with letters superimposed: "A Universal Picture".

Featured review
A healthy and amusing film
A nice picture indeed. It is an epic western, powerful and straightforward at the same time, a fine adaptation of a Saturday Evening Post Novel located at Portland area, Oregon, in 1856. It has got a good casting including Hoagy Carmichael playing his own songs (one of them, Buttermilk Sky, became a big hit). The colored photography in Technicolor is wonderful. An authentic gift for the eyes. The Skinner's music is excellent, the natural stage beautiful, the action grand. It tell us about the pioneer fight between themselves and against the Indian. If you like western movies, do not miss this one. If you do not, here is a good chance to start knowing healthy and amusing movies. If you declare yourself satisfied with it, as I hope, I do recommend another Jacques Tourneur western, Wichita (1955), with Joel McCrea and Vera Miles. You will be not disappointed. 7/10
