The film was directed by Sydney Pollack, with the score written by Elmer Bernstein. Davis was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the film. Filming took place in Sierra de Órganos National Park in the town of Sombrerete, Mexico.Joe Bass, a rugged trapper, is on his way to sell the furs he has amassed over the winter. He encounters a group of Kiowa Indians led by Two Crows, who take his furs. In exchange, they give him Joseph Lee, a well-educated escaped house slave, whom they had previously taken from a group of Comanches. As Bass and Lee catch up to the Kiowa, they see a group of scalphunters ambush them. The scalphunters, led by Jim Howie, kill the Kiowas and take their scalps for the bounty offered by the territorial government. They also take the furs the Kiowas took from Bass. Bass and Lee trail the new group.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Bookends: After Two Crows steals his furs at the beginning of the film, Bass tells Lee that his packhorse was also carrying a cask of whiskey, so in a few hours, there will be a bunch of drunk Indians. After Two Crows steals the furs again at the end of the film, Lee tells Bass that Howie's wagon contains two cases of whiskey, so in a few hours, there will be a bunch of drunk Indians.

 Artistic License – History: The film is set in 1860. However: While telling Kate's fortune, Lee refers to the planet Pluto. Pluto wouldn't be discovered for 70 years. Except for the Colt revolving rifle, all of the firearms shown came into use after the Civil War.

 Bodybag Trick: A variant where Howie hides under the rocks piled over the grave of the man who died when the horses were poisoned with locoweed, waiting to ambush Bass and Lee.
