Residents recount the October 1972 filming of the film about Addie Pray in Rush County Kansas. The crew staged graves and Main Street transformations in McCracken and nearby towns, with Paramount Pictures paying $50 a day. The scene follows Moses Pray driving Addie across the state and filming took place at Nickel Cemetery on Liebenthal Road among overgrown cedars.
