About working with Rod Steiger, Glenn Ford said, "Rod, well, in kindness, I think I should say he did a great job with his role. However, the 'Method' got a little too much for some of us, especially the wranglers. Look, Rod won an Academy Award, didn't he? And so did Ernie (Ernest Borgnine), so whatever Rod was doing in his role for 'Jubal' probably worked for him. He was intense, I'll tell you that."

Ernest Borgnine and Rod Steiger starred in the title role of "Marty". Steiger in the television version (Marty (1953)) and Borgnine in the Academy Award winning movie, "Marty (1955)."
Pinky (Rod Steiger) comes upon a cow corpse and remarks that it's definitely the result of a mountain lion attack. Moreover, he states, "Probably more than one. It looks like they're hunting in a pack now." Mountain lions don't hunt in packs; wolves do. The only big cats that hunt in packs are African lions, but mountain lions remain solitary hunters.
Jubal marked the American screen debut of British actress Valerie French, who played Mae Horgan.
