Production Notes
Run of the Arrow was the first film to use blood squibs to simulate realistic bullet impacts. The movie was filmed at St. George, Utah.
Originally produced by RKO Radio Pictures, the studio quitted its distribution arm before the movie was released. Universal Pictures handled the distribution of Run of the Arrow.
Sara Montiel's voice is dubbed by Angie Dickinson.
At the time of its release, critics commented favorably on director Samuel Fuller's decision to concentrate on feet in the "run of the arrow" scene rather than showing the actors in their full entirety. Fuller later stated in an interview that there was a simple reason for his decision: Rod Steiger had badly sprained his ankle just before the scene was to be shot and wasn't able to walk, let alone run. Instead Fuller got one of the Indian extras to run in Steiger's place, which is why the scene is only shot with feet instead of close-ups or medium shots.

“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice,
Of Attick tast, with Wine, whence we may rise
To hear the Lute well toucht, or artfull voice
Warble immortal Notes and Tuskan Ayre?
He who of those delights can judge, and spare
To interpose them oft, is not unwise.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
