universal wanted eastwood to shoot the feature on its back lot, but eastwood opted instead to film on location. after scouting locations alone in a pickup truck in oregon, nevada and california, he settled on the "highly photogenic" mono lake area. over 50 technicians and construction workers built an entire town—14 houses, a church, and a two-story hotel—in 18 days, using 150,000 feet of timber. complete buildings, rather than facades, were built, so that eastwood could shoot interior scenes on the site. additional scenes were filmed at reno, nevada's winnemucca lake and california's inyo national forest. the film was completed in six weeks, two days ahead of schedule, and under budget.
