       Old Tucson is a famous filming site in Arizona that has been very popular in television and films.  It's comprised of a town set and adjacent foothills that encircle it on a high plateau with lovely vistas of the desert.  Portions of twelve's "The Power of Life and Death", "Top Hand", and "The Desperado" were filmed here.  Michael Landon would later film segments of "Little House On The Prairie", "Father Murphy", and "Highway To Heaven" here.
