Reno, Nevada in 1973

Footage of Reno, Nevada shot in 1973 taken from the movie "Charley Varrick".

Scene 1 was shot from the former First National Bank building (now Wells Fargo) and features a great shot of the Riverside Hotel, Mapes and Virginia St. Bridge over the Truckee River.

Scene 2 looks south down S. Virginia St. by the Ponderosa, and centers on the Imperial restaurant, which is now a Starbucks.

Scene 3 was shot on the corner of First & Arlington, by the Truckee River.

Scene 4 was shot at City Auto Wrecking, a few miles east of Reno.

Actually, the bank building (former FNB, FIB, Wells Fargo), built in 1963, was purchased by the city during the last decade and is now Reno City Hall.
