Rambla Viciana stretches south of the current Mini
Hollywood to the Ponte de Cautivo, at the same route as the current highway.
The most characteristic point of this rambla is represented by a large oasis
created for a film sequence in “Lawrence of Arabia” (1962), directed by David
Lean, in which appears Peter O'Toole, Omar Shariff and the men who stop by the
well of a palmetto. The location, was then used in other films, including “Gunmen
Of The Rio Grande” (1964); “For a Few Dollars More” (1965); “Ballad of a Bounty
Hunter” (1968); “The Hunting Party” (1971); “Silver Saddle” (1978), and today
the cavity of the well is almost intact and still visible, although some palms
have died and the area is occupied by other types of vegetation, especially
eucalyptus. A few hundred meters to the south for the film “Gunfight at High
Noon” (1963) the set of Gloria Milland's ranch and her three children was
built. In the southernmost part of the rambla the sequence of the Indian attack
on the caravan was filmed for the film “The Tall Women” (1966).
