Trivia
This was produced during the famed musician's strike of 1958, forcing MGM to score it with stock cues from earlier films, many of them sub-standard and/or inappropriate to the scene in question. It remains the film's chief sore spot.
Quotes
Peter Van Hoek:
How about being an outside partner?
John McBain:
No, I wouldn't make a partnership with God.
Goofs
Right when they are leaving the collapsed mine, two people are visible, one in a white shirt, next to the corner of the adobe building in the background. They quickly get back behind the building.
