On Location: Rare Candids from The Beguiled

On Location: Rare Candids from The Beguiled

Here is a lovely set of rare candid photos taken during June 1970. Clint and the crew were filming The Beguiled while on Location in Darrow, Louisiana. Set among the 34 acres, is the famous Belle Helene or Ashland- Belle Helene Plantation House used in the film. These photos not only show Clint signing autographs and discussing the production, but there are also some nice shots of extras with props such as the cannon. It’s a nice little look back and a glimpse of the film’s history as it was happening. It is possible that these photos were used with an Instamatic camera, perhaps a Polaroid – as the colour was a little faded. I have made an effort to try and bring these back to life a bit by slightly adjusting the sharpness and the colour detail.
