This film is a re-make of the 1936 film "The Texas Rangers," in which the three principal male roles were played by Fred MacMurray, Jack Oakie, and Lloyd Nolan.
Lorn is shot in the back but when he falls off his horse blood is on his front.
Lorn signals his gang to push a large red rock down a slope to hit a stage coach but a close-up of the impact shows a much smaller rock which is whitish in colour.
Filmed in 1948, but not released until 1949.
One of over 700 Paramount productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by MCA ever since. Considered a centerpiece of the Paramount Film Library, Its initial telecasts took place in San Francisco Thursday 8 January 1959 on KPIX (Channel 5), in Seattle 30 January 1959 on KIRO (Channel 7), in Chicago Thursday 5 February 1959 on WBBM (Channel 2), in Philadelphia Friday 6 February 1959 on WCAU (Channel 10), in Asheville 22 March 1959 on WLOS (Channel 13), in Milwaukee 6 April 1959 on WITI (Channel 6), in Minneapolis 11 April 1959 on WTCN (Channel 11), in Grand Rapids 4 August 1959 on WOOD (Channel 8), in Pittsburgh 5 August 1959 on KDKA (Channel 2), in Indianapolis 29 September 1959 on WFBM (Channel 6), in Omaha 3 November 1959 on KETV (Channel 7), simultaneously in both Detroit and Johnstown 9 November 1959 on WJBK (Channel 2) and WJAC (Channel 6), and in Toledo 14 November 1959 on WTOL (Channel 11). At this time, color broadcasting was still in its infancy, limited to only a small number of high rated programs, primarily on NBC and NBC affiliated stations, so most vintage film showings were still in B&W, excluding WFBM, an NBC affiliate in Indianapolis, who broadcast this one in color. Otherwise, viewers were not offered the opportunity to see these films in their original Technicolor until several years later. Happily, today's televiewers can now enjoy it, fully restored to its original Technicolor grandeur on the Western Channel.
