About MY NAME IS NOBODY, a movie made in Mogollon

In 1972, You-Rent-It trucks began arriving in Mogollon, carting in heavy loads of lumber, roof tins, and myriad types of movie gear. Two new large buildings began to appear--a combination general store and blacksmith shop and a long, low, rambling adobe with tin roof--constructed by teams of carpenters. Talk in Mogollon was that Henry Fonda was to star in a movie produced by Italian filmmakers. In about two weeks, the sets were ready.

Then, on the first day of shooting, everything was sprayed with a mixture of paint and kerosene to help set the mood--the two new buildings looked exactly like vintage Mogollon properties. The full crew of about 300 people descended upon Mogollon to begin movie making. Movie trucks choked the only road in Mogollon. Finally, the stars arrived and the Mogollon parts of the script began to be put in the can.
