Barbara Wright poses in a military costume with a rifle during the filming of Bob Wade's and H. Billy Miller's parody of "Beau Geste." She is standing in a doorway believed to be part of one of the buildings at the old Indian Village or Pueblo in Balboa Park. These buildings, used in two international expositions, were razed in 1946. For more information see Frank Thompson's "The Lost Remake of Beau Geste," 2013.
