Wildwood Park was a significant movie-making location in the Conejo Valley, where more than 300 movies and television episodes were filmed since the early 1900s. Productions filmed there included Spartacus (1960), Wuthering Heights (1939), Wagon Train (1957-65), The Rifleman (1958-63), and Gunsmoke (1955-75). It was also the place where John Wayne taught Jimmy Stewart how to use a gun in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), where Paul Newman played one of his earliest roles as Billy the Kid in Arthur Penn's debut film The Left Handed Gun (1958), and where Elvis carried a gun in Don Siegel's Flaming Star (1960).
