Production

In August 1954, it was announced that Ray Milland would direct and star in a Republic Pictures Western, The Gunman. The film was based on an original script by John Tucker Battle and Talbot Jennings. Milland directed episodes of his 1953–55 sitcom Meet Mr. McNutley in order to prepare.

Milland received a percentage of the profits. After A Man Alone, producer Herbert T. Yates hired Milland to direct one film per year for four years.
