Wissenswertes
In an early scene in which Jared Whitney (George Brent) signs a hotel register, the close-up of the register page shows that the names immediately above Whitney's are "Mr. & Mrs. Donald Siegel, Sonora Cal". Don Siegel, later to gain fame as director of Die Dämonischen (1956) and Dirty Harry (1971), and for mentoring a budding director named Clint Eastwood, was in charge of the second unit that made such insert shots for Warner Brothers movies in the late 1930s.

Patzer
After the office meeting with the mining syndicate in San Francisco, Whitney hands a letter to a secretary, addressed to Serena. The writing on the envelope is clearly different from the initial shot to the close-up.

Zitate
Enoch: [as the farmers go to the showdown with the miners Enoch goes back to take care of the horses] Well, we'll win, just like we won at Chickamauga.
Joshua: You boys all won?
Enoch: Well, if we hadn't, you wouldn't be running around lose!

A number of reviewers fault the casting of George Brent in this film. In defense of Warner Brothers, at the time that this film was cast Flynn wasn't quite Flynn yet, and George Brent was a reliable first lead in costume dramas. It's true that I see more sparks between Mickey and Minnie Mouse than between George and Olivia in this film, but the casting must have seemed a good idea at the time. Recall that Warners seriously considered George for the lead in Captain Blood.

The film is entertaining to old timers for the casting of so many old reliable and familiar faces. I wish Willie Best had had a chance to play a serious role just once.

George Hayes was obviously transitioning to his Gabby persona, previously he had specialized in villainy.
