    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Ernest Borgnine met his future wife Katy Jurado while working on this film. A reporter saw the two laughing over lunch one day and started a rumor that the two were involved romantically, which Borgnine insisted for the rest of his life was not true. The story persisted, though, and Borgnine's wife ended up divorcing him because of it. Ironically, he and Jurado grew closer and closer because of this trouble, and ended up marrying in 1959 and would remain so until 1963.
    • Goofs
      At the time setting of this film, gold was fixed at a price of $20.67 per ounce. $100,000 of gold would then equate to over 302 pounds of the pure metal. But, they are stealing gold-bearing ore. The richest known hard rock gold deposits yield 1.5 ounces per ton of ore. So, they would have to steal thousands of tons of ore, not just the few sacks shown in this film.

      Cyril Lounsbery: How much would you love me if I wasn't rich?

      Ada Winton: Not as much.

      Cyril Lounsbery: I didn't think so.

      Ada Winton: How much would you love me if I weren't pretty?

      Cyril Lounsbery: Well, that's a different cup of tea.

      Ada Winton: No it isn't. A man being rich is exactly like girl being pretty. So there!

    Excellent Delmer Davies Western

    I stumbled onto this one accidentally, and I'm glad I did.

    Davies always worked with Borgnine to fine advantage, but the electricity of his pairing with late-in-career Ladd is an unanticipated delight. And, Borgnine's chemistry with then-wife Jurado is hotter still. Couple that with a deliciously foppish performance by feckless Kent Smith and excellent supporting work from Anthony Caruso and Ford Rainey and sharp-edged dialogue. The result is a fast-paced keeper.
