I love the old stages with the Fox Movietone logos on them. From 1927, I believe? I was telling Michael Weston about these as we were leaving. I bet it was fun to work there in the '80s. Overrun with cats then, wasn't it?John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-71947380027617335322016-05-09T04:44:04.995-07:002016-05-09T04:44:04.995-07:00When I used to work at FOX in the 80's I loved...When I used to work at FOX in the 80's I loved always driving down Dolly Street.Rick Schmidlinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-68173313206820882182016-05-08T16:18:41.964-07:002016-05-08T16:18:41.964-07:00Both Houdini '53 and TGHS do a nice job of sho...Both Houdini '53 and TGHS do a nice job of showing that Houdini lived in a Brownstone. Don't recall if they ever show the exterior of 278 in the '98 movie. The Houdini miniseries not only doesn't have him in a brownstone, but has him in Brooklyn for some reason! Don't get me started...John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-89672345547442964122016-05-08T15:11:22.340-07:002016-05-08T15:11:22.340-07:00When I saw TGH when it first aired, I hadn't s...When I saw TGH when it first aired, I hadn't seen a photo of 278. When I eventually did, I recalled how closely the film had matched it. Granted, rows of N.Y. brownstones resemble each other fairly closely.Leo Heviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990057178465581105noreply@blogger.com
