• Continuity: The car that picks up Harland, the Berents, and Glen Robie at the railroad station in New Mexico also appears in the driveway at the hospital at Warm Springs parked right in front of Harland and Ellen.
  
  
• Factual errors: There is no legal way that Cornel Wilde's character Richard Harland could have been sentenced as an accomplice after the fact, for the crimes his wife had committed. Under the law he couldn't testify against his spouse, and was not under legal obligation to report on her.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Ellen's method of scattering her father's ashes (flinging the urn from side to side during a horseback ride through the desert) would leave both her and the horse covered in her father's remains.
