We traveled to Durango, Torreon and Mexico City, but the bulk of our time and energy were spent on the main location, the replica of Los Alamos near Durango. We produced an hour long featurette which never saw the light of day, but was reduced to about an hour's worth of "moments" for Press Kit use; the fate, alas, of most behind the scenes documentaries. We work hard to funny pictures produce a cohesive product and the lions of commerce rip them funny pictures to shreds to feed their young. funny pictures Oh well, at least I know they're nourishing. The Los Alamos sets really were incredible. Joffe and producer Tony Garnett brought the production to the rugged mountains of Mexico and built one of the largest movie sets ever--up to that time. They virtually recreated the town of Los Alamos as it was in 1943. It took 150 carpenters and a huge number of laborers, working six days a week for six months, to build these sets. They then peopled the replica town with a cast of 60, hundreds of extras, a large production staff and more than 50 military and civilian cars and trucks of the period.
