Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Presley hated the script and only did it to escape his manager's ironclad 'one musical, one drama' deal structure. He reportedly sulked through production.
The film awkwardly straddles the classic western's dying days and the emerging antihero era, with Elvis as an unintentional bridge between John Wayne and Clint Eastwood.
