Production Notes
Much of the film was shot in Monument Valley, a scenic desert region straddling the Arizona-Utah border used in other John Ford movies. After holding a preview screening of the film, 20th Century Fox studio boss Darryl F. Zanuck felt Ford's original cut was too long and had some weak spots, so he had Lloyd Bacon shoot new footage and then heavily edited the film. While Ford's original cut of the film has not survived, a "pre-release" cut – dating from a few months after the preview screening – survives with some of Ford's additional footage and alternative score intact.
