Curiosidades

Tomahawk is a 1951 American Western film directed by George Sherman and starring Van Heflin and Yvonne De Carlo. The film is loosely based on events that took place in Wyoming in 1866 to 1868 around Fort Phil Kearny on the Bozeman Trail, such as the Fetterman Fight and Wagon Box Fight. In the UK, the film was released as The Battle of Powder River.

Production

The film is based on a story by Daniel Jarrett. Universal Pictures purchased the film rights in 1947 and assigned Leonard Goldstein to produce and George Sherman to direct. In August 1948, Universal announced that the film would be among its Technicolor productions for the following year, along with Calamity Jane and Sam Bass, Sierra, Streets of Cairo, Bloomer Girl and Bagdad.

In May 1949, Stephen McNally was announced for the lead but later withdrew and was replaced by Van Heflin in March 1950. In April, Yvonne De Carlo was cast opposite Heflin. Edna Anhalt was originally hired to write the script, but the film's writing credits are assigned to Silvia Richards and Maurice Geraghty.

Shooting began in May 1950. The film was shot partly on location in South Dakota.
