Anecdotes
Cecil B. DeMille initially thought Paulette Goddard was all wrong for the role of the half-breed Indian girl. Marlene Dietrich, Vivien Leigh, Katherine DeMille, Simone Simon, Anna Sten, Olympe Bradna, and Steffi Duna were considered for the part, but when Goddard showed up in his office in costume and make-up speaking pidgin English, he cast her.

Gaffes
Just before heading out to find Corbeau, Rivers helps April up onto her wagon. A few minutes later we see her climb up again, on her own.

De Mille's first Technicolor-epic

The master of spectacle doesn't let us down in that regard with his first movie shot in Technicolor.The action sequences are as exciting as in other De Mille spectacles but the hammy acting,the ridiculous dialog and slow pacing makes this a below par movie for De Mille. Gary Cooper and Madeleine Carroll look embarrassed throughout speaking those silly lines.Preston Foster as the third party of the love triangle has one of his more substantial parts in his career.But it is fun to watch Paulette Goddard's hilarious overacting.As her villainous father George Bancroft isn't far behind in that department.The best acting are provided by the two veterans Akim Tamiroff and Lynne Overman who provide some comic relief.The movie is beautiful to look at in bright colors and passes the afternoon quite painlessly.
