Sierra Baron

The novel was published in 1955. The New York Times called it a "grade A novel".^[3] In May 1956 the novel was optioned by the sons of Spyros Skouras, Plato and Spyros Jnr, who had formed a production company, Artys Co, with their cousin Charles Spyros Jnr, son of Charles Skouras. André de Toth and John Hawkins wrote a script with De Toth intending to direct; the Skouras brothers wanted Gregory Peck and Jack Palance to star.^[4][5]

Eventually rights shifted to Regal Films Inc and the film was made as part of Regal's ten films in three months. De Toth did not direct.^[6]

The film was shot back to back with Villa!! in Mexico, in and around Estudios Churubusco in Mexico City.^[7][8]
