Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Robert Mitchum's 8th film of 1943 alone—Hollywood's most prolific year for anyone not named John Wayne.
Hopalong Cassidy was so popular that William Boyd bought the rights to his own films and became one of TV's first syndication kings—literally invented the rerun economy.
