There are several clues that place the film at the latest in the late 1890s or the early years of the 20th century. For example, the date of Elsa's mother's death on her gravestone and the open-topped car, typical of early twentieth-century models. However, the heavily worn dime that Judd (Joel McCrea) wagers in the booth run by Westrum (Randolph Scott) in the opening scenes is a so-called "Mercury" (Winged Liberty) dime, first minted in 1916. The coin is extremely worn — a state that would have required it to have been in circulation for decades.
