Facts about

70mm version released in Spain.
Both William Holden and director Edward Dmytryk were concerned about the script of the film before production even began. At one point during filming, Holden, who was hung-over and dealing with an unruly horse, became angry and tried shoving the script up the horse's rear, yelling, "That's where it belongs!"
Production was shut down for six months when William Holden contracted salmonella, and the film had to be finished in Hollywood.
