Most of the film was shot on location in Gallup, NM and at Death Valley National Monument, CA.At the time of the films release, H.H.T. of The New York Times was unimpressed. While he found Sturgess direction full of professional smoothness, he had many problems with Frank Fentons fuzzily defined characters. The cast, he goes on, seems confused throughout. Leonard Maltin disagrees, calling the film wellexecuted and awarding it three stars. ........
