DeForest Kelley rather famously told an anecdote about the filming of this movie in his later years on the Star Trek convention circuit, about the time Princess Sofia of Greece was visiting the set and Kelley flubbed a scene by falling over a chair onto his backside and saying, "Oh, shit," in front of the princess. Henry Fonda told him the following Monday not to worry about it because he had danced with the princess over the weekend and ascertained that she had no idea what "shit" meant. This did not stop Kelley from getting a standing ovation at the commissary when the cast and crew broke for lunch.

Director Edward Dmytryk tells in his biography that Hank Fonda was such a fast draw with his six shooter that he (Dmytryk) had to slow up the action so the audience could savor it properly.
Blaisedell's salary was very high for the time at $400/month. On the TV series Lawman (1958) for example, Marshall Troop's salary was $60/month. $400 circa 1880 is equivalent to about $9,000 in 2017 dollars.
