SEDONA in the FIFTIES

The images below were photographed during the fifties.  You can see many even earlier pictures in the movies.  Hollywood discovered Sedona in 1923 while filming The Vanishing American in Flagstaff.   Sedona movies include: Gun Fury, Broken Arrow, Angel and the Badman, Apache, Copper Canyon, The Rounders, and a great many others.   A new museum in Sedona has an excellent collection of movie memorabelia. After the sixties, filming turned to production of commercials that exploited the scenery.
