I know a lot of people in this group have lived or traveled in Jalisco and the Los Altos region. Sadly, I am not one of them. I am curious if anybody recognized any of the locations that appeared in the film "For Greater Glory"? I tried searching on the Internet for specific information regarding filming locations but nothing turned up. I read some of the battles were filmed at actual locations. Also, what happened to the expert on the Cristero Rebellion, Steven Hernandez? He did a Masters thesis on it. I would love to hear his opinion about the film. I remember a long time ago he would leave posts on Nuestros Ranchos that were really interesting.
Question About For Greater Glory Movie
Alice,
Here is a list of the filming locations for that film:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1566501/locations
They filmed in Mexico City (even in the Chapultepec Castle), Puebla, Durango, San Luis Potosi, and Sombrerete in Zacatecas. My father used to talk about Sobrerete and Fresnillo. He was born in Jerez, but he left Mexico in 1913 when he was 10 years old, so he was not there during the Cristiada wars.
