Production Notes
Exteriors were shot in southern Spain near Guadix, a city in the province of Granada, the dry arid steppe doubling for British India. The railway, now abandoned, traversed the northern part of the Sierra Nevada.
The famous viaduct scene was filmed at Hacho Bridge which was completed in 1894 by engineers who had been tutored by Gustav Eiffel. It is one of the largest bridges in Spain, 650 metres (2,130 ft) long and 50 metres (160 ft) high. The bridge is located between the two Andalusian cities of Guadahortuna and Alamedilla. Today the line across the viaduct has been lifted. A modern rail crossing has been built alongside the old iron bridge.
Interiors were filmed at Pinewood Studios, London.

—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“My notes have a curious tendency, as I realize at last, to annihilate all they purport to record.”
