I'll look for that scene next time I watch the movie. :) I envy you getting acquainted with John Russell (a favorite of mine if you hadn't guessed) and Clint Walker and the like. It's funny that Andra Martin never really made a big career for herself. I've always wondered why. Anyway, thanks for dropping by.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-24442901705884828632018-02-25T21:45:38.176-05:002018-02-25T21:45:38.176-05:00The best part of this movie is I was a stuntman in...The best part of this movie is I was a stuntman in it. I made enough money falling off horses to pay my freshman year in college. It was filmed in Flagstaff Az sSedona Az Lake Mary just outside of Flagstaff. The cabin was up on the San Francisco Peaks near Snow Bowl north of Flagstaff. It was a great experience for a 19 year old. I got aquinted with all the actors. I was the person that the horse fell with when crossing the river. I got back on him and rode him up. After all the Indians were after us. Ha. <br />Phil Sanders.

I bought an autographed copy of the movie from Clint Walker on his website, www.clintwalker.com, and have watched it countless times for the very reasons you so eloquently listed.
