Buster Keaton's "Three Ages" (1923), Herman Brix's "Hawk of the Wilderness" (1938), Laurel and Hardy's "The Flying Deuces" (1939), John Wayne's "The Fighting Seabees" (1944), and Richard Burton's "The Robe" (1953) are just a handful of the productions that were filmed at the ranch. The rocky terrain and narrow, winding roads frequently turned up in Republic serials of the 1940s and were prominently featured in chases and shootouts throughout the golden era of action B-Westerns in the 1930s and 1940s. For the 1945 Western comedy "Along Came Jones", producer and star Gary Cooper had a Western town built at the ranch; this set was subsequently used in many other productions until the town was dismantled in 1957.
