Although Tim Holt's double gun rig is shown with leather leg ties of dangling rawhide stripes, he rarely used them. This isn't surprising in view of the fact that leather leg ties on gun belt holsters is a Hollywood invention for movie cowboys who wore their gun belts low on their hips, which Holt never did. The leather leg ties were introduced in Western movies to keep the low-slung holsters worn by movie cowboys from riding up when they drew their guns--a problem caused by the drooping holsters on their low-slug gun belts.
Steve Brodie played the brother of Tim Holt's character in Brothers in the Saddle (1948), then played the gold-stealing villain in Guns of Hate (1949). Brodie was a frequent co-star in Holt's westerns, a fact he's publicly expressed great pride in.
Steve Brodie, the leader of the gang, was married to co-star Lois Andrews, who plays Trixie the saloon singer. They had two sons. The marriage lasted four years.
Notice how Tim Holt wears his gun belt in all his movies, including this one. He's one of the few movie cowboys who wore his gun belt in the correct manner--high on his hips, right below his pants belt, instead of halfway down his hips. Holt shared this honor with Roy Rogers and Hopalong Cassidy. Compare pictures of them to historical photographs of Billy the Kid.
The golden palomino Tim Holt rode in many of his movies bore a strong resemblance to Roy Rogers' famous horse, Trigger. However, Holt actually rode at least four horses during his western career, which spanned about a dozen years at RKO. In the early 1940s, prior to leaving for World War II military service, he rode a horse named Duke. After this there were several horses in his post-war films, one of which was Sheik, Later the well-known golden palomino named Lightning served in many of his most successful films, demonstrating a high degree of loyalty and intelligence. Toward the end of his RKO series, Holt rode a horse named Sun Dance.
