The first Monogram film shot in color, using the Cinecolor process which was less expensive than Technicolor.
Anthony Quinn and Katherine DeMille--the adopted daughter of Cecil B. DeMille--were married at the time of this production and this marked the only time they appeared on screen together. They divorced in 1965.
Principal photography was delayed for two weeks because of a shutdown at the Cinecolor plant in November of 1946.
Based on the real-life adventures of Black Gold, the long-shot winner of the 1924 Kentucky Derby.
Anthony Quinn's first leading role.
