This film's earliest documented telecasts took place in Chicago Tuesday 21 February 1950 on WBKB (Channel 4) and in New York City Saturday 4 March 1950 on the DuMont Television Network's WABD (Channel 5).
Although the original running time was 72 minutes, and it was still intact when first released to television in 1950, the version presently offered on You Tube only runs 59 minutes implying the print used had been trimmed for local television consumption, probably to fit into a predetermined time shot, and the missing pieces were never put back.
Some scenes in this film were shot on location at St. George, Utah.
In 1949, Windsor Productions produced a film entitled Massacre River based on the same source, which was distributed by Allied Artists, co-produced by Julian Lesser, Sol Lesser's son, and Frank Melford, directed by John Rawlins, and starred Guy Madison and Rory Calhoun.
