Facts about
The canyon was purchased as unsafe by the movie company, and actually destroyed on film.
Acording to a 1996 biography, Clint Eastwood was first offered the lead role, but turned it down to make Hang 'Em High instead.
The film was originally planned to be shown in single lens Cinerama with reserved seat roadshow engagements, but Columbia execs changed their minds and pulled the plug on that idea. The film was drastically cut down from nearly three hours plus an intermission to just over two hours. Although most of the film was photographed on 65mm stock, to save a buck, a handful of scenes were filmed in 35mm anamorphic and then optically blown up with disastrous results. The blown-up scenes are exceedingly grainy and have bad color.
