Notes & Scribbles
- One of those westerns with a theme song over the opening credits, then the tune is used throughout the film.
- On a map they show Mission, TX. Nearby is Edinburg! Need to find out if that’s real.
- There was a cock-fight in the pub!
- Early role for Anne Bancroft before she (ahem) ‘graduated’ to bigger roles. She did some dancing in this.
- Recognised the very distinctive voice of the actor (Leo Gordon) playing Cherokee (he was Quantrill in Quantrill’s Raiders)
- The hero always seems to get the girl in these films, or at least the girl falls for him, regardless of how rotten he treats her.
- Pretty sure the Jim Davis who was in this is not the Jim Davis who created Garfield. I could be wrong right enough 😉
- I checked. The Edinburg is real!
