Trivia

Fred Thomson was a real-life minister before becoming a Western star, and his horse Silver was so popular he got top billing on some posters.

Cultural

This film premiered the same year Carson's actual role in the forced Navajo relocation became widely documented — Hollywood chose hagiography anyway.
