Daisysmama Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The NYC apartment in the Dakota where "Rosemary's Baby" was filmed Norma Desmond's "Sunset Boulevard" abode, complete with pool Jimmy Stewart's charming "Vertigo" apartment at 900 Lombard St, San Francisco Just to name a few!

libradoll Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Mrs. Venable's (Kathryn Hepburn) house in 'Suddenly Last Summer' (oh, that garden!!) The Vicker's house in 'A Place in the Sun' I'll watch this thread to see if anyone says 'Tara'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SansFin Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I would like to live in Cathy's house as shown in *Admiral Ushakov* (1953). I do not know if they filmed in the true house or if they recreated it on a soundstage. I like very much the idea of doors so tall that their handles are nearly as high as your shoulder. It is sad to say the true house has been converted for public use and it would not be possible to but it or to live there.

lzcutter Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 William Holden's lovely mid-century modern home in *Executive Suite*. I want to live in that house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 The Disney Beauty and the Beast castle (after the curse has been lifted, of course) because of the incredible library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Like I said in that other, similar thread, the house in Cedar Rapids shown in *North By Northwest* . Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SansFin Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I wonder if the asking price for Whipstaff Manor in *Casper* (1995) would include the ghosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzcutter Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I would also love to live in the mid-century modern house Carroll O'Connor has in *Point Blank* though the neighborhood above Sunset Blvd is probably not conducive to commuting. Same problem with the MCM Chemosphere house. Great view, lousy for commuting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardon, but being from the northern Midwest, I think you may have confused Cedar Rapids IA with Rapid City SD. I got curious about that abode myself, so I looked it up and came upon this fascinating article about it. http://hookedonhouses.net/2010/03/15/north-by-northwest-hitchcocks-house-on-mt-rushmore/ h5.

casablancalover2 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Cinematic in style was Mary Tyler Moore's house in Minneapolis And a few years back, it was put on the market, asking over 2million, because of extensive upgrading and remodeling to look more like a place where Mary Richards would live. I don't know if they got the asking price. h4. Mary's apartment was supposedly behind the third floor windows. http://hookedonhouses.net/2009/07/05/mary-richards-apartment-on-the-mary-tyler-moore-show/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
