Lucy out fishing and camping

So I was going to segue next into pix of scenes from classic Hollywood movies with wilderness/nature/rural scenes and scanned through my database of 1000’s of old movie pix and found precious few. And I started to think about it and I realized that, with the exception of westerns and some beach movies, nature – beyond a scene on a moonlit patio or a quick panorama of the surrounding scenery – really did not figure into a lot of old movies. All I could come up with (and I didn’t think too long about it) was “The African Queen” as a notable exception as is “Leave Her to Heaven”; some of the climatic scenes in “North by Northwest” happen outside in nature; Bette Davis has a few brief  woodsy-camping scenes  in “Now, Voyager” as well as a car accident in the hills above Rio; the brief scenes of driving through the woods toward Manderlay in “Rebecca” at the beginning and end of the film; Grace Kelly and Cary Grant driving through the hills above Monte-Carlo in “To Catch a Thief”; the final scene of “Painted Desert”, and I suppose “Lifeboat” but that so obviously was not actually shot on location out in the middle of the ocean. Can anyone else think of classic American movies set in part or in whole in nature besides western or beach movies?
