Trivia James Stewart credited this film with saving and redefining his career after a series of postwar flops threatened to seriously damage it. See more »
Goofs This movie is based on a rifle-shooting competition held in Dodge City on 4 July 1876. During a poker game in the movie, Dutch refers to a "Dead Man's Hand". This refers to the poker hand 'Wild Bill' Hickok was holding when he was shot in the back by Jack McCall on 2 August 1876 - less than a month later. It was too soon for the "Dead Man's Hand" to be a famous phrase. However, per IMDb guidelines for Anachronisms, "a good deal of leeway" is allowed; linguistic anachronisms are usually excused (modern words in historical films) - "always bear in mind that it's entertainment not documentary."

Crazy Credits The film's opening prologue states: This is a story of the Winchester Rifle Model 1873 "The gun that won the West" To cowman, outlaw, peace officer or soldier, the Winchester '73 was a treasured possession. An Indian would sell his soul to own one . . . See more »
Quotes Wyatt Earp: That's Dutch Henry Brown. I thought you said you didn't know him.
