Anecdotes
According to Kirk Douglas in his autobiography "The Ragman's Son", he agreed to act in this film for free, in order to end his contract with Warner Bros. He later said, "It's a bad movie."

Gaffes
Walter 'Yukon' Burns has come from the Yukon gold rush, supposedly in Alaska. Although the gold fields of the Yukon Gold Rush of 1897 were predominately in Canada, the Yukon Territory is (and was) completely landlocked, accessibly only by traveling through Alaska on routes such as the Chilkoot Trail, the White Pass Trail, or the Klondike River. It is appropriate to regard 'Yukon' Burns as coming from Alaska.

The Big Trees

Kirk Douglas was later very disparaging about this film in his autobiography claiming he simply made it for nothing in order to get out of his long term contract with Warner Brothers.

But this remake of Warners' thirties Technicolor travelogue 'Valley of the Giants' isn't really all that bad, making good use of the Redwood trees - soon to serve a central function in Alfred Hitchcock's 'Vertigo' - in glorious Technicolor, while Douglas as usual gives good value in the lead; since like many an actor specialising in good guys he's always more interesting to watch when playing an out and out heel.
