* EnforcedMethodActing: According to Creator/CharltonHeston, in the scene where he forces a kiss on Carroll Baker (Patricia), he was instructed ''not'' to let her go, while she was told she had to break free herself and slap him. She was able to do neither, and after multiple takes apparently ended up in tears with a set of nasty bruises on her wrists.

* BeamMeUpScotty: One of the most famous quotes, thanks to the Burl Ives {{Expy}} in ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'', is Rufus' outburst, "I told you I'd shoot, but you didn't believe me! ''WHY DIDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME?"'' after shooting his son Buck for violating the terms of a duel. The actual quote doesn't specifically mention shooting, with Rufus instead saying, "I told you! I told you I'd do it! I told you, but you didn't believe me! Damn your soul, ''I TOLD YOU!"''

** Similarly, Rufus' line "If you ain't the mother and father of all liars!" is often misquoted as "If'n you ain't the granddaddy of liars!", once again thanks to ''Ren and Stimpy''.

* HostilityOnTheSet: Tempers flared on the set between numerous individuals, particularly Creator/WilliamWyler and Charles Bickford, who had fought on the set of ''Hell's Heroes'' (1929) years before and were continuing their antagonistic relationship. Wyler liked to shoot numerous retakes and Bickford was very cranky, often refusing to say a line he didn't like or to vary his performance no matter how many takes he was forced to deliver. Also, Wyler clashed repeatedly with Creator/GregoryPeck, whom he'd worked well with on ''Film/RomanHoliday''. After Peck stormed off the set one day following a blazing row, Wyler told the press, "I wouldn't direct Peck again for a million dollars and you can quote me on that." They reconciled a year later but true to the director's word Wyler and Peck never made another film together.



* ScullyBox: Creator/GregoryPeck wore lifts in the film so he would look taller than Creator/CharltonHeston and more in line with Chuck Connors. Which is pretty funny considering that Peck was already a pretty tall guy himself (he's widely considered one of the classic examples of tall, dark and handsome).
