Much of "El Dorado" was shot at night at Old Tucson, Arizona. Veteran cinematographer Harold Rossen (1895-1988) came out of retirement to shot the picture in the style of Frederick Remington paintings.
30 years earlier Rossen had lensed another movie in Tucson, "Bombshell" with his then wife Jean Harlow.
The Old West paintings of Olaf Wieghorst (1899-1988) where used as background art under the credits of "El Dorado."
Duke was a friend of the artist and collected his work. Wieghorst had small parts in both "Dorado" and "McLintock."
