Trivia:
The 70-mm widescreen version was used in the movie's initial showings. That version, developed by MGM and called
"Realife," no longer exists.
The pistols carried by Johnny Mack Brown were the actual pistols that belonged to the real Billy the Kid. They were
loaned to the studio for the picture by William S. Hart, who had them in his private collection.
