The song "Hand Me Down That Can of Beans" was performed by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, who were also extras in the movie. The band is most famous for singing "Mr. Bojangles".
Only one number is sung by a trained singer - "They Call the Wind Maria" by Harve Presnell. (The word "Maria", spelled Maria without the H, is sung/pronounced as "Mariah".)
Released at a time when musicals were rapidly going out of fashion, the film went notoriously over budget and behind schedule. Opening to mostly negative reviews, it was not the huge box office success that the producers had hoped.
Lee Marvin had to be made to look older in the movie, since at 44 he was only six years older than Clint Eastwood.
Although a musical, no choreographer was ever hired.
