The Cheyenne Social Club

O'Hanlan gets a letter from an attorney in Cheyenne, Wyoming, that his disreputable and now deceased brother, DJ, left him something called The Cheyenne Social Club in his will.

He also specifically asked that his friend Fonda be cast; they had most recently worked together two years previously in Firecreek.

•

Set in a brothel with suggestive dialogue, the movie was one of the few off-color films that James Stewart did.

•

The exteriors were shot at two Western film lots Bonanza Creek Ranch and Eaves Movie Ranch outside Santa Fe, New Mexico, while the interiors were shot at the Samuel Goldwyn Studios in Hollywood.

Firecreek

Stewart and Fonda's first film together had been the musical comedy On Our Merry Way two decades earlier, and they made The Cheyenne Social Club two years after Firecreek.
