Greetings, and questions.

Greetings, whoever might be reading this.
Did anybody watch this film in its first, original airing? In all sources it says that its running time is 1 hour. However, the actual running time in its second airing (the only one available) is about 46 min., Also, in the closing credits appear three actors who are nowhere to be seen in the movie. It appears it was edited. How heavily? Was something good/important lost? Is there a full version, somewhere?
Unanswered questions, it seems. Maykiwi (talk) 23:41, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Silver Creek. The other one.

In case someone is wondering, the Silver Creek appearing in the movie isn't the actual Silver Creek, California, so there can be no link between both articles.

In the movie, the Caines get off a bus heading to Seattle, which suggests their Silver Creek is north of Los Angeles, just like the real Silver Creek. According to the Plumas County museum's website, that town was fully Chinese, which contradicts the dialogue of Caine having to gain the affection of the residents because he was Chinese. ^[1]

But most importantly, nowadays there are no remnants of the settling, according to a mail I received from the museum:

Definitely NOT filmed in Silver Creek, Plumas County. Looks like it was filmed around the Owens Valley, Lone Pine, Alabama Hills area of Southern California (lots of westerns filmed there) Looks like a film set.
Silver Creek, Plumas County WAS a Chinese-only town here (Caucasians were allowed to visit on Chinese New Year) from 1855 - 1920s. After several fires destroyed the town, in the 1930s the area was hydraulic mined and everything still there was washed away. Absolutely no trace of the town in the 1980s.

So, hereby I register this historical data for the sake of overly curious people like me. Maykiwi (talk) 21:37, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
