Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe character Nevada Smith was supposed to be 16. He was played by 35-year-old Steve McQueen.
- GoofsWhen Max Sand (pretending to be Tom Fitch) gets busted out of prison by Fitch's buddies, he climbs out of the busted jail window with his gunbelt on. If he was in a jail cell, he wouldn't have had his gunbelt with him.
Why ever not? Jails then were quite different from those of today, with different standards. They had his pistol, the gunbelt is mostly harmless - it wasn't like he was going to whittle a gun out of balsa wood.

Featured review
Miscast McQueen
A young man seeks revenge for the brutal murder of his parents. It's generally well made, but can't overcome a big casting flaw. The title character is supposed to be a teen-aged half-breed. Unfortunately, he's played by 36-year-old blonde-haired, blue-eyed McQueen. It's hard to buy when he is repeatedly referred to as a kid and a half-breed. McQueen tries to act young, but acting like a man half his age makes him appear mentally retarded. The film goes on too long, with an extended prison sequence (stangely reminiscent of "Papillon," which McQueen would star in seven years later) that seems out of place in a Western. The impressive cast is chock full of familiar faces.
