Trivia
During the cattle drive, Audie Murphy (Reb) has ridden up ahead, over a ridge, to scout the trail and sees a range fire burning towards the herd. As he races back down the hill to the other riders, his horse slips and almost falls down. He and the horse are able to recover and without missing a beat, Murphy says his lines to the others and the scene goes on.

Goofs
At one point, Cora Dufrayne (Telford's girlfriend) is trying to seduce gunslinging anti-hero Reb Kittridge. And, when he mentions having been driven out of Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming, she replies: "You're running out of states." Wyoming, however, did not gain statehood until 1890. While Arizona and New Mexico remained territories until 1912.

Quotes
Bartender: I've seen a man take two drinks of that stuff and go out and hunt bear with a willow switch.
Reb Kittredge: What did he want the switch for?

The Gunslinger and the wise glambler!!!

One my favorite actor Audie Murphy plays a hired gun Reb Kittredge, he headed to Montana to discuss a job with a rich and powerful Cattleman Matt Telford (Donald Randolph) who want get the last ranch nearby from the clever Dan Saxon (Paul Kelly) he was in financial troubles, however he refuses sell his ranch to Telford, Reb and Telford didn't reach a fair agreement, but the smart Dan Saxon makes a best offers to him on a car game, which Saxon never lost, if Reb got the highest card he gets the ranch, if not he has to work to Saxon, Reb accepts and win the ranch on cards, Saxon has a beauty daughter Rita Saxon (Susan Cabot) Reb and Rita often are in clash, but under this hate has a mutual hidden love interest, Reb knows that to keep the ranch he has to driven the cattle sold to an railroad at Yellowstone in fifteen days in time to pay the Saxon's debit with Telfold, meantime he already contract another Gunman Johnny (Charles Drake) a friend of Reb, Murphy made something alike in "Cast a Long Shadow" where he used be rough with the cattlemen, fine B-Western from Murphy!!
