Workers built more than 50 buildings in 40 days. Many of those structures are still standing. After Arizona completed filming, the location lay dormant for several years, until the filming of The Bells of St. Mary's (1945), starring Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman. Other early movies filmed on this set included The Last Round-Up (1947) with Gene Autry and Winchester '73 (1950) with Jimmy Stewart and The Last Outpost with Ronald Reagan. The 1950s saw the filming of Gunfight at the OK Corral (1956), The Lone Ranger and the Lost City of Gold (1957), and Cimarron (1959) among others. 1940: Arizona 1945: The Bells of St. Mary's 1947: The Last Round-up 1950: Broken Arrow 1951: The Last Outpost 1955: Strange Lady in Town 1955: Ten Wanted Men 1955: The Violent Men 1956: The Broken Star 1956: Walk the Proud Land 1957: 3:10 to Yuma 1957: Gunfight at the O.K.
