Did you know?!Facts and trivia about A Time for Dying (1969)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Budd Boetticher said he made A Time for Dying because Audie Murphy was in trouble with people in Las Vegas and needed a director for a picture he would produce; Murphy was killed in a plane crash on May 28, 1971, shortly after the film was finished.
- Peter Fonda was originally set to star as the kid in A Time for Dying, which was shot at the Apacheland Movie Ranch near Tucson in April and May 1969.
- Money was so tight on A Time for Dying that the completed film ran several minutes shorter than the script, and Audie Murphy spent the next year and a half trying to raise funds for completion and post-production.
- After legal problems following Audie Murphy's death in 1971, A Time for Dying had only limited showings despite being shown throughout Texas, and it did not screen in New York until 1982.
