Ucceda is a small town in the province
of Guadalajara, whose territory is
separated from that of Torremocha (in the province of Madrid)
by the Rio Jarama. Between the river and the barren and steep hills that extend
to the south there is a farm, called Finca El Soto, in which some westerns ere
filme, for which a ranch was also built, which included five buildings, among
which a two-story ranch house and stable with a high pitched roof, very similar
to that of Triple X Ranch in Jackson Hole (Wyoming), used as a set in the film
Jubal, 1956 and in some other westerns. The Finca El Soto farm is still active
today: but the sets have disappeared.
It was seen in “Minnesota Clay” (1964) (as Antonio
Casa's ranch); “Adios Gringo” (1965); “Hands of a Gunman” (1965); “$100,000 for
Lassiter” (1966); “Son of Jesse James” (1965) (where it represents the Double
Horse Ranch, owned by Dorothy / Mercedes Alonso, which has a central role in
the story); “Django” (1966) (as the base
campo for the Mexican bandits in the night scene); “Navajo Joe” (1966);
“Savage Gringo” (1966) (where it plays a large role in the film); :The
Relentless Four” (1966); “Face to Face” (1967) (as Lydia Alfonsi's farm).
