Goofs:

Continuité: In the last scene, when John receives a letter while working a cattle roundup, the letter is sealed when it's handed to him, but when he takes off his work glove to take the letter out of the envelope and read it, the flap is unsealed, as if it never had been sealed at all.

Guillemet:

John O'Hanlan: Harley, with this much money, I can... I can... I can... Heh! What would you do?
Harley Sullivan: John, if I had that much money and already had a business, I guess I'd just live high on the hog for as long as it lasted.
John O'Hanlan: [Testily] That's not what a shrewd businessman would do, Harley!
Harley Sullivan: You asked me what I'd do!
John O'Hanlan: That was my first mistake!

Lasting Impressions from a Serviceable Western

My lasting memory from seeing this film in a large screen theater in 1970 is the opening scene: Fonda and Stewart at work on a snowy range with other cowboys before Stewart gets notified of his inheritance.

I don't think the film made much money upon initial release, but when it was shown on US network television in the late seventies, it was the number one telecast for the week. Back in those pre multi cable days, I'm sure some grasping producer (Glenn Larson type) was contemplating a pilot for a few weeks.
