Trivia
"The Far Frontier" was filmed in Trucolor, but the color elements have been lost. Out of 19 color Republic westerns starring Roy Rogers, a total of six are no longer available in color, due to missing film elements. Unfortunately, the remaining black and white prints look soft, because of the method used to make the monochrome prints in the 1950s.

Trigger Remembered by Whitney

In one scene the bad guys are rolling barrels off a truck to stop Roy Rogers and Trigger. Trained jumpers were 'doubling' Trigger, but found the barrels too frightening and shied off. Trigger was finally allowed to try, ridden by Roy's stunt double Joe Yrigoyen. Joe ordered Trigger to jump too soon for a stationary object. Trigger trusted Joe and jumped when Joe commanded. He cleared the barrel, but a bit awkwardly. Trigger did better on the 2nd barrel. By now he thought it was fun, and for the rest of the scene you can see Trigger moving from side to side so he can jump as many barrels as possible! We read the book and got the movie just so we could watch Trigger jumping the barrels in this scene.
