Did You Know?
| Trivia | André De Toth had the town built in Oregon several months before filming so that the structures would be naturally weathered by rain and snow, not artificially dressed by crewmen. When De Toth learned that the workers had neglected to follow his compass headings for the layouts of the streets, he had them rebuild it. See more » |
| Goofs | At numerous times when they are going through the mountains, it is obvious that the horses are walking in plowed trenches. See more » |

| Quotes |
Helen Crane:
[Dancing with Bruhn]
Why did you have to do this terrible thing? Jack Bruhn: There are things worse, ma'am, than dancing with lonely men. Helen Crane: Please, let us go. Jack Bruhn: Soon. Helen Crane: Why did you have to come here? Jack Bruhn: You should be grateful. Our coming saved the life of your husband. Helen Crane: I don't believe Blaise would have gone through with it. Jack Bruhn: Mrs. Crane, when my men and I leave here, there will be a showdown and you will be a widow. See more » |
