Facts about

According to the production notes on the 2003 DVD release, Keenan Wynn's battered hat that he wears in the picture was Leslie Howard's Confederate cavalry hat from Gone With the Wind which Wynn purloined from MGM. Wynn first wore the hat in a 1942 MGM screen test and "wore it in every picture he made".
Kirk Douglas was one of the few people in Hollywood who did not refer to John Wayne as "Duke" citing his dislike of nicknames. Curiously, Yakima Canutt, an expert stuntman and second unit director, and one of Wayne's oldest friends in the business, also called him "John" in most print interviews.
According to director Burt Kennedy, he gave up half his salary so that he could afford to hire Kirk Douglas (quoted in the Production Notes on the Universal Western Collection DVD).
