Fun Facts of Movie

For an early scene, Fuller wanted one continuous shot along the entire length of the frontier town’s main street on Fox’s back lot, which had been used in hundreds of westerns. Various techniques were tried, including a camera mounted on a crane driving down the street, but Fuller was dissatisfied with the results. Eventually, he had 50 workmen build 1000 feet of track to get the desired effect in one take. It remains the longest dolly shot in the studio’s history.
