Interesting facts

Fort Yuma is a 1955 American Western film directed by Lesley Selander and starring Peter Graves, Joan Vohs, John Hudson and Joan Taylor.

Production

The film was edited before release with many violent scenes being excised.

The film was originally denied a seal from the Production Code Administration. Geoffrey Shurlock told producer Howard W. Koch that it contained "sadism and excessive gruesomeness". To get a seal, Koch allegedly reduced the number of killings from 24 to 10, although in fact there are still considerably more than 10 onscreen deaths in the amended version.

Parts of the film were shot in Kanab movie fort, Kanab Creek, and Kanab Canyon.
