    • Trivia
      Richard Haydn replaced Tony Hancock due to Hancock's erratic on-set behavior. Hancock reportedly also had trouble with the mock-Shakespearean dialog.
    • Goofs
      Before the fight, Bullwhip says that he must follow the Marquess of Queensberry Rules, which were published in 1867. The film is set around 1850.
    • Quotes

      Eric 'Bullwhip' Griffin: Now that was not fair. You simply must observe the Marquess of Queensberry rules.

      Mountain Ox: Huh?

      Referee: [pulling Bullwhip aside] Stop usin' them cuss words. I said "a clean fight."

    One of my favorite Disney Live Action films

    This a Disney film that most people have never heard of and, to me, it is one of the funniest. OK, some of it is a little hokey, but, by and large, it is a film the whole family can enjoy. Roddy McDowall is perfect as the straight-laced butler who tries his best to help his young friend in the gold fields of 1849 California. Suzanne Pleshette (beautiful as ever) plays the love interest that Bullwhip can't bring himself to admit. She can also belt out a pretty good barroom tune. Add a crooked judge who is also a thief, one of the funniest fist fights ever filmed and likable villains and you have an entertaining romp in the old west.
