Producer

The film stars Margia Dean, who recalled "Don Barry was very nice, pleasant and polite to me. But, he was short. And that can create something of a problem. Tom Neal was in it, and I found him to be the serious, brooding type." She says Holt was in the film because producer Robert L Lippert "was good about using once-big names who were a little past their prime!... It was my first leading lady, but still a thankless part. You go in early in the morning for hair and makeup; then are driven a long ways to a dusty, hot, sticky location. At dusk, they take the leading lady's close-up—just when she's grimy! (Laughs) Those tight corsets and five pounds of wigs were all uncomfortable—as were those stagecoach rides—which were so bumpy! (Laughs)".[3]

gollark: "osmarks.tk 2.0" would start by having a splash screen with an overlarge image and text saying things like "downloading 5MB of JS frameworks", "finding irrelevant images for all content", "running `npm update`", that sort of thing.
gollark: Do you mean "enraged", sinth?
gollark: Where I make "osmarks.tk 2.0", which is very "modern web" and totally unusable.
gollark: Although it would have to go after my other planned joke.
gollark: Maybe I should rewrite osmarks.tk formally as an April fools' joke.
