This was either for
Comstock's Business Magazine, or for the
Sacramento Convention and Visitors Bureau. My best guess is that it illustrates the Sacramento area's ability to stand in for other parts of the world (even Canada?) as a movie and TV location. Which is ironic, because other places usually stand in for Sacramento. The current TV series,
"The Mentalist" is set in Sacramento but only nominally shot there, and the most famous of Sacramento shows,
"Eight is Enough," looked more like Backlot Land, where
Samantha and Darrin Stephens and the
Bradys lived.
I recall Roseville stood in for the Mid-West in the Emelio Estevez film 'Wisdom'.
ReplyDeleteThat's right. Did you cover the filming while you were in Roseville? I think Sacramento's moment of greatest film glory might have been when it stood in for New York (?) in fall for Clint Eastwood's "Bird" about Charlie "Bird" Parker
