    • Trivia
      While the exact time frame of the movie is unclear, at 22:16 a portrait of Theodore Roosevelt is seen on the wall over Eleanor's left shoulder. Roosevelt served as U.S. President from 1901 to 1909 meaning the film takes place within the first decade of the turn of the century.
    • Goofs
      Near the final scene, when John Wayne and the villains are standing in front of a hill, a shadow from the boom microphone is visible on their pants.
    • Quotes

      [John Martin has assisted old timer George to get to his supposed mule, Nellie - and is surprised to see a motor car instead]

      John Martin: Is that Nellie?

      George Hale: [earnestly and proudly] Yup. That's Nellie.

      John Martin: Well, it's an automobile, isn't it?

      George Hale: Yes-sir-re-bob. Ain't nuttin' like 'er in th' whole county!

      John Martin: [smiles] You mean, *the whole world*?

    Shoot 'em Up, Blow 'em Up Fun

    John Wayne rallies George "Gabby" Hayes and the other residents of Rainbow Valley against a gang of bandits who patrol the myriad roads out of town, stealing the fruits of the local gold mines and are now sabotaging the construction of a new main road.

    Even though there isn't as much action in this as there is in other Wayne Lone Star productions, it's still a pleasant enough diversion with at least one great action sequence where Wayne and a dozen or so men with rifles route the bad guys, while Gabby chases them off in his horseless carriage, throwing sticks of nitro as they flee!

    This time around, Wayne's stunt double and B-western nemesis, Yakima Canutt, is nowhere to be found. He must've went on vacation.
