Olive Sturgess recalls that Cameron, who had starred in three syndicated television series between 1954 and 1961, was "making sort of a comeback at this time. He was very gracious; very kind. You can see it in him in the scene when we are having dinner—his look. He was a professional."[1]

Requiem used several older actors, including Tim McCoy. Dick Jones, years earlier the voice of Pinocchio, closed his acting career in the film as the gunfighter, Cliff Fletcher.[2] Mike Mazurki brought humor to the picture. The snake which he placed in the saddlebag of Cameron's horse was artificial but made so real-looking that viewers would not have known the difference.[1]

gollark: The response is generally more like "no" or "what are you even saying" than "yes".
gollark: I mean, maybe the configuration file does? But it's not like it otherwise intrinsically uses those.
gollark: *What* uses MiB/KiB?
gollark: Or just use UTC or the server's configured timezone.
