Trivia
One of three Colizzi films, the other two being Boot Hill and Ace High. The three movies aren't technically a trilogy but form part of an informal trilogy, with Ace High following God forgives.... and the adventures culminating in Boot Hill.
Spanish classical composer Ángel Oliver Pina (1937 - 2005) is credited for the music in most prints, most likely for tax quota reasons.
