Western films have often been tributes to place and setting, with
the magnificent backdrops mirroring the wildness of the narratives.
As the splendid outdoor scenery of Westerns could not be found on a
studio back lot or on a Hollywood sound stage, the movies have been
filmed in the wide open spaces of the American West and beyond.
This book chronicles the history of filming Westerns on location,
from shooting on the East Coast in the early 1900s; through the use
of locations in Utah, Arizona, and California in the 1940s and
1950s; and filming Westerns in Mexico, Spain, and other parts of
the world in the 1960s. Also studied is the relationship between
the filming location timeline and the evolving motion picture
industry of the twentieth century, and how these factors shaped
audience perceptions of the "Real West.
