Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Gary Cooper was, at nearly 57, a decade older than Lee J. Cobb who played his "Uncle" Dock Tobin. Even with heavy makeup, it was generally agreed that Tobin still looked younger than Link Jones. Cooper was actually about 20 years older than his character was supposed to be. In addition, Cooper and John Dehner talk about being children together, but Dehner was actually 14 years younger than Cooper. See more »
Goofs In the final shootout between hero Gary Cooper and bad guys John Dehner and Robert J. Wilke, Cooper fires at least nine bullets from his six-shooter before reloading. See more »

Quotes Link Jones: You know what I feel inside of me? I feel like killing. Like, like a sickness come back. I want to kill every last one of those Tobins. And that makes me just like they are. What I busted my back all those years trying not to be.
