This was Jack Palance's first major role. He throws a disabled person from a great height. In Widmark's first famous role he played a crazed killer who pushed an old lady in a wheelchair down a long flight of stairs. I wonder if Richard gave Jack 'pointers' on effectively throwing handicapped people from great heights for fun and profit. Both actors did well despite such gruesome starts!

In the movie Shane, Palance had to deal with his equinophobia (fear of horses!). There is a scene of him coolly mounting a horse that is really a shot of Palance getting off the horse but played in reverse. He was a gutsy guy and over time actually managed to be adequate in the stirrups.
