Born to the West

Due to a studio clerical error, Alan Ladd was credited for an appearance in this film as an "Inspector". He does not, in fact, appear in it and there is no "Inspector" involved in the story. However, his name is included in 13th position in the credited cast published by Weekly Variety 16 March 1938, and this information was erroneously picked up by the American Film Institute Catalog of Feature Films 1931-1939. By the time it was re-released, Ladd had become a prominent and popular player, so his name was likewise prominently displayed, often receiving equal billing right along with John Wayne, not only on all the re-titled advertising material, but also in most television program schedules once telecasts began.

As Tom tells Lyn that Dare is the new manager, the portrait of George Washington on the wall behind, appears and disappears between shots.
