The film-makers actually deposited some tons of builders sand on top of the natural silver sand of the common to make it look more authentic, they also (after filming) left behind a couple of fibre glass giant cactus props. Julian Easton.

  • 'Now' required

Johnny Finger, also known as The Rumpo Kid (Sid James), rides into Stodge City. A studio set where most of the action takes place.

Little Heap (Bernard Bresslaw) spies the stage coach from Denver carrying the unwitting Marshal P Knutt. Julian Easton, born and raised in Chobham, confirms this as Chobham Common just south of Farnham in Surrey which is seen in other films including 'Castle in the Air', 'Carry On Cleo', ‘Only When I Larf’, 'The Break', ‘The Night Caller’ and 'Don't Panic Chaps!'

Acting as the Reelstreets "scout" Julian has found the location supported by the clump of tree's visible on the horizon. (RL)

Smoke signals are sent by Little Heap's men as the coach comes to a halt. Julian Easton born and raised in Chobham confirms this as Chobham Common.

Julian's father used to speak to him of the crater made by a V1 Buzz Bomb hitting the Common during WW2, but not so visible now! (RL)

After the 'Indians' are seen off, by fellow passenger Annie Oakley's shooting, Marshal P Knutt (Jim Dale) attempts to drive the coach on to Stodge City. One more time from Julian Easton, born and raised in Chobham confirms this as Chobham Common.

Julian's "clump of tree's" match this shot too. (RL)
