SYNOPSIS:

Two men with questionable pasts, Glyn McLyntock and his friend Cole, lead a wagon-train load of homesteaders from Missouri to the Oregon territory. They establish a settlement outside of Portland and as winter nears, it is necessary for McLyntock and Cole to rescue and deliver food and supplies being held in Portland by corrupt officials. On the trip back to the settlement, up river and over a mountain, Cole engineers a mutiny to divert the supplies to a gold mining camp for a handsome profit.

TRIVIA:

• James Stewart was so upset when Rock Hudson received more cheering and applause at the premiere that he vowed never to talk to the actor again, let along work with him - and he never did.
• The last film in which James Stewart had his own hair.
• Though the film received generally poor reviews, it is noteworthy as marking a turning point in James Stewart's career as he began to play much more violent, cynical and ruthless characters.
• In Finland this film is called "Maa vuorten takana", meaning "The Land Behind the Mountains" in English.
• Continuity: The heroes pass the same large, flat, rock formation twice during the trek with supplies.
• Continuity: When Laura Baile gets shot by an arrow, it is almost between her neck and her breast. Soon later, it is high in her right shoulder.
• Anachronisms: Several shots of Mt. Hood reveal jet contrails across the horizon.

• Errors in geography: Near the beginning of the film, while camped very close to the base of what is obviously Mt Hood, Jimmy Stewart's character says they are heading for a place 150 miles east of Portland. Mt Hood is only 50 miles east from Portland. Not only that, but they go through Portland on their way to their settlement.
• Errors in geography: At the base of Mt Hood, the settlers are attacked by a band of Indians that the trail guide declares are Shoshone. Although there were Shoshone (Paiute) tribes in southeast Oregon, Mt Hood is in north central Oregon along the Washington border - too far to the northwest to have been on any Shoshone ground.
