Cast with a collection of actors who repeatedly appeared in Ford's films and were known as the John Ford Stock Company,[3] "The Colter Craven Story" was done as a favor to Wagon Train star Ward Bond, who played supporting roles in 24 Ford films (and in one TV episode, "Rookie of the Year").[4] Filmed in September 1960, it was broadcast 18 days after Bond's sudden death from a heart attack on November 5.[5]
