Production
The movie was filmed at ten locations in Southern California. It was the largest production in San Diego County since Titanic. The set for Bethlehem was shot in Lakeside because of the surrounding terrain.[1] Two locations in Ramona, California were used and owners in the area provided livestock such as camels for the film.[2][3] Larry Poole was the head wrangler.[2]
