Trivia
The calendar that Randolph Scott tears a page off every day carries an ad for "Gamet's Vegetable Compound." Kenneth Gamet wrote the screenplay for this and several other westerns co-produced by Scott and Harry Joe Brown.

Goofs
The men's shirts in the film button down the front their entire length. Shirts like this were not invented until the early 20th century, and did not become popular until the mid to late 1920s.

Quotes
Marshal Calem Ware: Men, Cody Clark is buying drinks. He won all bets.
Cody Clark: That's right. Drinks are on the house...and everybody is welcomed!
Marshal Calem Ware: You can also take up a collection for burying Dingo. Add this
[money]
Marshal Calem Ware: to it.
Cody Clark: That's right nice of you Calem. Funny how a man softens to another when once he's killed him.
Marshal Calem Ware: I don't know about that. I'd do as much if it were your funeral.

The right people make the law.

Classic western. A marshal(Randolph Scott)finds himself tired of taming the beast. A hired gunman(Michael Pate)is hired by businessmen(Warner Anderson and John Emery)to "take care of" the lawman so corruption can run the town. Plenty of action and strong supporting cast featuring: Jean Parker, Don Megowan, Wallace Ford and Angela Lansbury as the winsome showgirl. Pate as the gloved gunman practically steals the show. The stoic Scott proves why he has top billing.
