Although playing the older man, Arthur Hunnicutt was actually twelve years younger than Randolph Scott.
The first big-screen adaptation of an Elmore Leonard story.
During a meal, Chink is talking to Hank about Mrs. Sims and says "Had me a quiet woman once". The conversation, almost word for word, is also used the "Return of the Magnificent Seven" where Warren Oates' character talks about his love of women and Sonora Town.
Columbia Pictures released this film on a double bill with Hellcats of the Navy (1957) starring Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan.
During filming it was called "The Captives" (Elmore Leonard's original story title) and/or "The Tall Rider". Just prior to release, the title was changed to "The Tall T," the name of the Tenvoorde ranch in the early scenes.
