Quotes from
Mr. Keon:
The kid can ride!
Joe Madden: How do you know?
Mr. Keon: I ought to know, I'm his Pa.
Joe Madden: There might be a big war party out there.
Bert Keon: Let me ride my own horse, and there's not an Indian pony that will even smell his dust.
Sam Leeds: I like your notion, Reverend, that Apaches are just evils the Lord created to try honest men. I'm saved! I'm not an honest man.
Sally: You'll have to go without me Sam. Maybe I'm selfish. All I want is what every woman wants - a home - a place in the town where she lives - and an honest husband.
Sam Leeds: Yeah, it all adds up kind of dull and tame - - like Joe Madden.

Facts about
Final film of producer Val Lewton.
The "Apache" Indians are actually lifeguards from the beach at Santa Monica, California, painted with full body paint and made up to look like Apaches. Director Hugo Fregonese and producer Val Lewton wanted the Apaches to do a lot of leaping from high windows, off of roofs, etc., and the film's budget precluded hiring stuntmen to play the Apaches. They decided to hire the lifeguards because of their athleticism and, more importantly, the fact that they didn't have to get stuntmen's pay.
