Facts about
Eli Wallach and Robert Vaughn are both killed in this film. In real life, however, they are the last surviving members of the main cast. Wallach is a fine example of irony, for although he played the villain and was older than almost all the other leads, he has outlived them all except Vaughn.
When filming began in Mexico, problems arose with the local censors, who demanded changes to the ways that the Mexican villagers would be portrayed. Walter Newman, who had written the screenplay, was asked to travel to the location to make the necessary script revisions, but refused. The changes written in by William Roberts were deemed significant enough to merit him a co-writing credit. Newman refused to share the credit, though, and had his name removed from the film entirely.
