Trivia:
It rained throughout most of the shoot. Many exterior shots had to be rewritten at the last minute to be shot indoors. Several exterior shots had to be done with a tarp over the actors' heads, and the score was used to drown out the sound of the rain hitting it. more

Revealing mistakes: During the climactic gunfight, Beverly Garland's horse does not react to the shots that are being fired in its direction. more

When the town sheriff is gunned down, his wife Garland pins on the badge. Hired killer Ireland is sent to off her, but instead falls in love with her. Corman, directing a great cast, culled from Poverty Row, seems to do nothing with the delicious plot that is bubbling away here. What we end up with is characters we don't care about, walking through a very stiff script. It shoulda been better...it coulda been a contendah!
