Interesting facts
Comanche Territory is a 1950 American Western film directed by George Sherman and starring Maureen O'Hara and Macdonald Carey.
Production
In March 1949, Universal Pictures announced that it would produce a biopic of Jim Bowie produced by Leonard Goldstein, most likely to star Scott Brady as Bowie. The film was originally titled The Bowie Knife. It was Maureen O'Hara's second film for Universal, following Bagdad (1949), and costar Macdonald Carey's second film on loan from Paramount, following South Sea Sinner (1950).
Location scouting was performed in Kanab, Utah, but filming took place in and around the Oak Creek Canyon area of Arizona.
Filming was postponed for one week in August 1949 so that O'Hara could recover from laryngitis.
