WILHELM SCREAM: A scream used for the character Private Wilhelm (recorded originally for Distant Drums (1951)), can be heard when he is shot in the leg by and arrow and painfully lets out a Wilhelm. This famous sound effect has since been re-used in many films, including the Star Wars, The Lord of The Rings and Indiana Jones films.
This was one of just three films released theatrically in "WarnerPhonic" sound, an early four-channel surround sound system. Unfortunately, only the mono version of the soundtrack has survived.
Third use of the iconic Wilhelm Scream and the first to not be a Gary Cooper movie.
The repeating rifles shown were lever action Winchester Model 1892 and not Henry rifles.
Guy Madison's character name, Miles Archer, is also the name of Sam Spade's detective partner in The Maltese Falcon.
