Producer Darryl F. Zanuck was quoted in an interview as saying that he didn't think much of actors forming their own production companies, citing La battaglia di Alamo (1960), produced by John Wayne, as a failure of such ventures. Wayne found out about this interview before being approached by Zanuck, and refused to appear in this movie unless he was paid $250,000 for his role (when the other famous actors were being paid $25,000). Wayne got his requested salary.
