Yup. That's what they say. According to IMDb.com, The Bells of St. Mary's, about a big city Catholic church about to go under because of lack of funding, was filmed in Arizona at Old Tucson. I am gonna HAVE to rent that movie and watch it again to become a believer.
But do know this: Old Tucson isn't just about Western movies and TV shows. Portions of Thelma and Louise were shot here. Also, The Three Amigos, Lillies of the Field, Treasure of the Seven Mummies ...
Hoss was a good ol' Texas boy from Abilene. He gave up being a high school Algebra teacher there to become an actor!
Do you remember a movie about Adobe Walls?
Yeah, if you like Westerns this is a place you might want to put on your families vacation agenda!

I could say that I won't bore you with listing the 300-plus projects that have been filmed here. However, I don't find the list boring at all. Most of my favorite Westerns - including four with John Wayne - have been filmed here. But if you are interested in knowing more, go to this website:
This has turned out to be a very cool event. Granpa did very good!
