The town scenes were filmed in Lepanto, Arkansas, and many residents of the city served as extras in the movies.
The church used for the Sunday church scene was donated by the film crew to a small church in Crittenden County, Arkansas. The church still stands and is being used every Sunday. A large sign in the yard depicts it as the church used in the movie.
The house the crew used and the church are located about forty miles apart. The actors, actresses, and extras had to be shuttled to the proper locations for shooting. The house and the church, as well as other locations used in eastern Arkansas, are still standing.
