Production
Jeff Richards was cast shortly after his release from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. He did a lot of his own stunts, and had to take a brief hiatus after an automobile accident he sustained while driving to rehearsals. Carol Ohmart was offered the part as an apology by Jack Warner for accusing her of hiding her then-husband Wayde Preston, who had walked off the set of Colt .45.
