Cyril J. Mockridge was hired to score the picture, but John Ford used a bit of music from Alba di gloria (1939) score under some of Vera Miles' scenes. Ford later told Peter Bogdanovich that he used Alfred Newman's "Ann Rutledge" theme for the same reason in both films, to evoke the feeling of lost love. He also told Bogdanovich that he made it apparent (through this music and other means) that Miles' character Hallie had never gotten over Tom Doniphon because he wanted John Wayne to be the lead rather than James Stewart.
