Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Only about 10 minutes of footage survive, held at the Library of Congress. The rest is genuinely gone.
This is John Ford's second credited feature — he's still figuring out his voice, but the 'gentle outlaw' archetype he pioneered here would echo through decades of Westerns.
