In Reply to: Interior architecture/Ennis-Brown House in films. posted by TAFKA Steve on September 28, 2002 at 04:33:05:
The Bradbury Building was also used in Murphy's Law and Marlowe with James Garner and Bruce Lee.The Harold Lloyd estate, Greenacres, was used in Death at Love House, Commando, Westworld, Futureworld, The Godfather, Peeper, Hearts of the West, and The Bodyguard as well as episodes of Columbo and Baretta. I think elements of the house were used in The Comic, Sunset Boulevard, The Loved One and the Elton John video for I Want Love.
One of the pictures on the Ennis-Brown site looked remarkably like the interior of the Edison home on Maniac Mansion. If you've not seen the show it's well worth checking out as it's quite clever and funny.
Follow Ups:
The Bradbury Building was also seen in Bladerunner and (my personal favorite) the "Demon with a Glass Hand" episode of Outer Limits.
I believe that was on Season II of the Outer Limits, the original series, which reminds me, I still need to pick up the recent DVD release of Season I!
I'd forgotten about Demon With a Glass Hand and you're right, it's an excellent episode. The woman in it, Arlene Martel, was an early crush of mine. She also played T'Pring in the classic Star Trek episode Amok Time. As John Wyndham would say, she was quite pneumatic.My personal favorite Outer Limits is The Architects of Fear which also starred Robert Culp. It still scares the hell out of me.
"Architects" is one of my favorite Outer Limits episodes - I vividly remember seeing it in its initial run when I was a kid. The network deemed the material as "too frightening" and blacked out some of the shots of Robert Culp as the alien - very scary stuff for its day!My top five favorite Outer Limits episodes are "Architects of Fear" for it's alien, "Demon with a Glass Hand" for its story, "The Man Who Was Never Born" for its cinematography (Conrad Hall), "The Zanti Misfits" for its funky stop-motion animation. My favorite episode is "Nightmare" in which several POWs are interrogated by the Ebonites in a secret war game - it ranks as Ione of the best pieces of TV science fiction ever made IMO.
