- TriviaFilm scouts came to Oklahoma for possible locations but Alberta, Canada, was chosen to save money. Elliott quit the project over this since TNT had agreed to shoot in Oklahoma as an early condition of Elliott's involvement. Director Harrison convinced him to return but he has said that his biggest regret on this movie was not shooting it in on location. The film did have its premiere in a theater in Oklahoma City, and Elliott attended.
- GoofsTilghman refers to "Wild Bill" Hickok as William B. Hickok, when his real name was James B. Hickok.

Featured review
If a SMILE could be the star of a movie, Sam Elliott's inimitable smile would be the star of "You Know My Name." Elliott may well be the greatest leading man in westerns in the post-1970 period, and he is at the top of his game in this based-on-a-true-story oater set in Oklahoma in the early twentieth century. There have been better westerns, sure, but there have not been many better western star turns than this. Elliott makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time, ALL the time, and at the end you just do both.
