A
new plot, by veteran writer Paddy Chayevsky (The
Hospital, Network),
is grafted onto the songs of the old stage musical,
as a dearth of womenfolk pushes gold prospectors Ben
Rumson and Pardner (Lee
Mavrin and Clint
Eastwood) to polyandry, sharing wife Elizabeth (Jean
Seberg).
In an unusual turnabout, it was the director, stagey
old Joshua Logan,
who wanted to shoot the movie on the Paramount lot,
and the studio who insisted on location shooting.
As it turns out, the location is the movieís only real
asset. ëNo Name Cityí, the goldrush shanty town, was
built at East Eagle Creek,
up in northeast Oregon,
near to Baker City, within the Wallowa-Whitman National
Forest.
More scenes were filmed at Holcomb
Valley, a short drive north of Big
Bear Lake, located in the real gold
country of the San Bernardino National Forest (it's
claimed that more gold per square mile was taken out
of Holcomb Valley than anywhere else in southern California).
