According to a report published in the portal, Senses of Cinema, the director Budd Boetticher had tight budgets on his films. This is especially true for the Ranown films. The shooting period for these films was very less and the director had to complete the shoots within these few days allotted to him. Since the budget was less, the team could not go to some distant location to shoot the film. Hence, Comanche Station filming locations were around the Iverson Ranch that was located within an hour’s drive from the film studio. Some of the scenes of this movie were also shot at the backlot of the studio.
