Western films sometimes take place in an amorphous "Old West" setting without naming a specific state or territory as their location. Others take place over a wide swath of land, moving from one locality to another. But sometimes, a western takes place in one particular state. Today, I have rounded up fifteen westerns that do take place in one US state, and your job is to figure out which state goes with each of them!
To make it a little easier, here are the states that get used:
Arizona
California
Colorado
Montana
New Mexico
Texas
Wyoming
And here are the films:
1. The Mark of Zorro (1940)
2. My Darling Clementine (1946)
3. Shane (1953)
4. High Noon (1955)
5. The Searchers (1956)
6. Giant (1956)
7. 3:10 to Yuma (1957 and 2007)
8. The Alamo (1960)
9. The Sons of Katie Elder (1965)
10. Chisum (1970)
11. Pale Rider (1985)
12. Young Guns (1988)
13. Dances with Wolves (1990)
14. Open Range (2003)
15. The Lone Ranger (2013)
Important Note: We are talking about the states where the films take place here, NOT where they were filmed. Some were filmed at least partly on location, and some weren't, but for the purpose of this game, we are talking about where the story happens.
Put your guesses in a comment! I'll reveal the answers at the end of the week, along with everyone's scores. I'll put comments on full moderation today so that your answers will be kept secret while the game lasts.
(Yes, technically a couple of those take place in Territories instead of States, but we're just saying states for the sake of simplicity.)
