Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Batjac was John Wayne's production company, making this his rare TV venture—he reportedly hated television and only approved it for the money.
Based on a Louis L'Amour novel that Wayne had already adapted into a 1953 3D film, so this was basically a remake nobody asked for.
