I remember as a child visiting Mt Rushmore when the Visitor Center looked exactly as it does in this film. Didn’t visit again until the 1990s after most of the upgrades. Then again a couple of years ago, such a change!!

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Oh! I'm so glad you commented because that's something I'd been wondering- if the visitor's center actually looked like that back then. Thanks. It's so cool, it would be worth a tour on its own.

[@Mrsakris]

@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane On the same day we visited Mt Rushmore, the Chief Crazy Horse carving (much bigger than Mt Rushmore) was just beginning and you could get a feel for the outline. The only thing that you could deem as a visitor center back then was a dinky log cabin at the entrance that had brochures and a few postcards. Now that log cabin is long gone and they have the most beautiful visitor center/learning center that gives such great honor to traditions of the tribe, Ogalala Lakota, and other historic findings and amazingly beautiful artwork. It’s a great place to learn a lot!

@@Mrsakris Awesome! I hope i can go someday.

@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane It actually was just like that! I was there when I was only 5 or 6. That would be 1967-68. I remember it so clearly that it's kind of freaky. I can still go back to how it felt to view the monument. Down to the breeze that went through your hair! No matter how long you stood there, it was so impressive that you couldn't believe it was actually there. I can remember being in the visitor center too! I believe my mom bought a napkin holder there, but I have no idea where that is now. When I saw the movie, I instantly recognized it.

North by Northwest is one of my favourite films and it was so interesting to go around that unique house. Next time I watch this film I will see the house differently. I think it is a characteristic of Hitchcock that he went to such length to have the house absolutely perfect for a scene which lasted only a short time.

The show spent so much time in every room that the detail would be easily captured.

You did not disappoint! I've been looking forward to this video since you had initially announced it. You are one remarkable woman. I love your attention to detail and you consistently out do yourself in each new video. The joy derived from your work is evident. I really don't mean to diminish your channel, but Mockingbird Lane is worthy of HGTV. It really ought to be a television series to gain a wider audience. I'm sure other TV and film buffs (that haven't made it to KZbin) would love your work as much as we do. I'm getting ready to start blogging my own design work. I am not yet skilled enough to produce any CGI videos for walk-throughs or fly-overs, but you are definitely inspiring. Keep up the good work. I hope one day to see you cover Blake Carrington's mansion on the original Dynasty series and maybe even Edna's Edibles and her attached home from The Facts of Life. Dynasty though, would be a big project. But, because its based on the real life Filoli mansion in Woodside, California, the exterior and grounds can easily be reproduced. One of the major differences between Filoli and the fictional mansion is the location of the staircase and the living room/drawing room.

Thank you. Glad you enjoy my work. I sure have fun making these tours. I will most likely get to Dynasty one day.

Thank you for this fascinating video imagining the unseen spaces of the Vandamm house. Terrific job, Marina! I've always loved this house since seeing the movie in 1959 when I was 12 years old. I remember asking my parents to sit through a second showing of the film just to see the house again! My dad said it looked like a Frank Lloyd Wright house and I've been hooked on Wright ever since. Kind of ironic since FLW didn't design it but Robert Boyle certainly incorporated many Wrightian elements. I understand Mr. Boyle had an architecture degree from USC before going into the movie business as an art director in the '30s. He certainly knew his stuff. There's an interesting chapter in the book "The Wrong House: the Architecture of Alfred Hitchcock" where he explains how he designed the Vandamm house specifically to serve the plot of the movie.

You didn’t mention in your marvelous narration what several people alluded to in their comments - that there are no homes at all behind the monument - not for many, many miles. In fact, the rock formation upon which the busts were created drops off just behind the heads, with nothing but barren, rocky, unpopulated ground beyond them. Unlike the movie depiction, there is no plateau above and behind the monument upon which any house of any sort could be built, let alone one of such grandeur. But, as you’ve often mentioned, we just have to suspend our disbelief and go along with the storyline. Lovely tour.

I adore movies that are set in grand mansions. I love the classic home of the Van Tapp family in The Sound of Music. For me, there is no screen home that encompasses evil and darkness so well as the bizarre mansion in the 1963 movie of The Haunting, directed and produced by Robert Wise. But my all time favourite is the grand country estate in the 1940 movie Rebecca directed by Alfred Hitchcock. I have read the book and watched the movie countless number of times. I simply fell in love with Manderley (the name of the stately home). Alfred Hitchcock was a genius in the way he evoked the disturbing presence of the dead mistress (Rebecca) through the home and its surroundings.

Thank you. If you like Hitchcock movies, you'll probably like this one. He really did put in all of his signature moves into this film.

I love your videos about these great iconic homes from tv and movies past. There was a tv show I remember from the early 80's. The show was called Too Close for Comfort with Ted Knight. I was always curious about the floor plan of that iconic house. It always stood out in my mind over the years because the exterior was red and was located in San Francisco. I also remember the daughters on that show living in another part of the house with that crazy early 80's paint stripe color room. If you ever have time could you break down that house?

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

I love getting tips like this. I don't remember that show. But, I'll check it out.

Marina, I really enjoy your work ! This is one of my favorite movies. I'd also love to see you do a depiction of Uncle Bill's apartment from "Family Affair". Everyone remembers those double front doors with the handles in the middle but did you ever notice that the master bedroom mural is the same one used for Cornel Wilde's hotel suite in the I Love Lucy episode “The Star Upstairs"? Makes sense as Family Affair was shot as Desilu. Cheers from another classic TV fan!

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Oh my! I love tidbits like that. I plan on doing the Family Affair penthouse fairly soon, perhaps early next year.

[@heeyabbott9838]

I absolutely love your episodes Marina, and this made my Fri night! One of my all time favorite houses in the movies! Yes, it does remind me of Fallingwater, which I've visited, but the inside of that house is small by today's standards. I'll let you in on a little secret, my living room looks a little like the NBNW set. Our fireplace has a stone surround from floor to ceiling and it's an open concept space. Thank you so much for recreating these movie and tv house designs, they're so much fun to see, and such a welcome, feel good respite from everything going on in the world. 😊👌

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Thank you. Wish you could post a picture of your living room.

[@hamiltonpl]

Thanks Marina! Great tour. Great house design. I love this movie. And it's got such a great house in there. Have you read THE DARKER SIDE OF GENIUS by Donald Spoto? Great Hitchcock biography. Read it when it came out. I need to check out THE ART OF ALFRED HITCHCOCK by same.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

I haven't read that one. Thanks for the tip.

[@janerkenbrack3373]

I am coming to this channel late, and this is the first video I've seen. It was enjoyable, and I will watch another. I do have two comments about the video. One is about the TV, and the other is your chice of painting for Eve's bedroom. The TV: Phillip Vandamm doesn't seem like the sort of chap that sits around watching television. But they are useful, and sensible for someone to have, if only used occasionally. For this, chairs can be brought over. And the TV next to the bar - another functional feature - feels practical. The TV is tasteful for the time, and fits in nicely with the decor. But then for such a home, a TV could be brought out of the closet when needed, and not on display at all. We, the audience only need to see the TV for the reason you mentioned it. So yes, it was really there because of the plot. As for Gustav Klimt's masterpiece, The Kiss, I think this is a mistake. The Kiss is probably the most famous painting at a prestigious Vienna museum. It would hardly be a thing Vandamm could own, and any likeness would be a forgery. I hardly think Eve or Vandamm would put up a poster print. It's a lovely painting, and it does hint at the story in the film, but is too famous for him to have or fake.

[@GProArt]

Fantastic!!! Thank you!!

Glad you liked the tour. It was 2 months in the making.

[@ashleyj4158]

*Very* nice job on North by Northwest 😃 Very excellent + Very satisfying 😌 -- a house tied with the Parent Trap house to me!!

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

The Parent Trap house is my all-time favorite movie home, but this one is not far behind.

[@TVHouseHistorian]

You captured it, Marina. Your recreation of this masterpiece is a masterpiece unto itself. For me, this set is one of special interest for its academic value every bit as much as for its design value, and it feels like you gave this tour all of the care and research it deserves. Hitch was a creative genius, and it seems like in order to examine this set, we need a tour guide who has some understanding, and YOU'VE DONE IT. I'm barely 10 minutes into the video, and I've already seen 3 or 4 things I completely missed when I examined this set before. I really love your ability to see around every corner. It shows you have a trained and skilled eye. "...But I don't care. I choose to suspend belief in the face of great in the face of great cinematic design." Well-spoken, Marina! The exact location of the kitchen always mystified me, but it turns out I was close. Not being a design professional myself, I (in my imagination) envisioned the kitchen to be designed more in the era which the movie was made. The Brady Bunch kitchen is actually more what I envisioned the space to look like (Lol)! Of course, we all know that the set of the Brady Bunch home was designed to look like it was influenced by FLW, so I guess that's why my brain went there. It wasn't until after I toured Falling Water that I began to understand FLW a little better, and also began to understand the VanDamm house (how I should have envisioned it) a little bit better. So before you took us into that space, I absolutely envisioned, of course, the stone walls, the gridded cabinet-to-ceiling windows, and even some modern 1960's appliances - AND YOU CAME THROUGH! I was getting all anxious to see what kind of treatment you gave that space, and you did not disappoint. Would you call it 1930's modernism? As for the counter treatments, I would have chosen white formica instead of stone, but maybe that's where I depart from the authenticity of metaphor, and let my personal preferences and biases get in the way (because part of me still wants BRADY BUNCH!) LOL. Now, the upstairs surprised me a little bit, because I was envisioning a much larger space, perhaps with a couple more bedrooms and one more bath. It's so hard to do with what little they gave us in the exteriors and the set plan. So wonderful. Thanks for uploading this, Marina. Many of us were awaiting this with bated breath, and you did not disappoint. Thank you for giving it the treatment and care it deserves. ❤️

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I absolutely love that you had already envisioned so much of the home in your head. And, you're right - there would be more rooms upstairs, I just had to stop at some point, it was taking too long. 😊

[@TVHouseHistorian]

@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I forgot to include my vote: I’m really interested in The Jeffersons apartment. In an earlier episode, Louise states that their penthouse had 7 bedrooms (if memory serves), and yet Lionel and Florence shared the same bedroom door 😂. And never mind the fact that the only other bathroom in the place besides the master was the half bath adjacent to the front door. 😂 So much fun to explore these places.

[@mapleleaf0]

The Waltons, please. Judy Norton seems approachable on KZbin. I wonder if she’d want to consult or somehow participate. Thank you for this fantastic tour. Now I want to rewatch the movie.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

That happens to be the next home up on my roster. I would love it if I could interview Judy. I've watched her behind-the-scenes videos on KZbin.

Great video. I enjoyed the tour. Always love the film; a favorite. Also Eve Kendall and I shared the same profession; industrial design. I've always wonder what the rest of the house would be like if it was actually real. Wonderful assumptions on your part for the details and possible layout of those interiors not seen in the film. Thanks.

Another triumph by Marina! Thanks so much for doing countless hours of research and then translating that into videographic walkthroughs for us. For future projects, would you consider doing Jessica's home from Murder, She Wrote?

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Yes, I sure would.Thanks for the suggestion.

[@dendk5458]

Hello, your videos and comments are captivating. I completely enjoy your final design of movie / tv homes based on limited information. If you get an opportunity I would love to see the home from the 1960 movie "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" with Doris Day and David Niven. I recall they purchased a big old fixer upper out in the country away from NYC. Seems like a fun home to work with. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

I love that home. Interestingly, I've loved almost every movie home Doris Day starred in. She must have had "a type."

[@bewiseasowls]

Wow what a home! Now , could this be the inspiration for the Brady home? That famous staircase with the stone wall behind are beautifully recognizable.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

There are definitely similarities!

[@deen1843]

Thank you for putting out these videos. Love Frank Lloyd Wright's work and this was a wonderful inspiration. Also a big fan of the Parent Trap video you put together as well. If you ever want to do a Craftsman style home, I would recommend the film Zathura. The entire film takes place in a Greene and Greene inspired house. The apartment in Auntie Mame (1958) would be fun too, with all its makeovers.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Thanks for the ideas!

[@Not_You_2]

Hitch usually filmed in Technicolor which makes the reds and oranges pop against the earth tones as you mention. Another awesome tour, thank you. Oh, and would like to suggest All in the Family for a TV house.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Thanks. It's on my list.

[@kentdean3882]

A beautiful job! I'd imagine that this film, shot in the IMAX forerunner, VistaVision, must have really shown off the phenomenal artwork rendered in creating the original mattes. You "followed a tough act" splendidly!

I'm a huge midcentury and modernist house fanatic. I just found this channel searching for FLW houses. Very very cool. Just a suggestion for you(I'm selfish and adore this house). The house from Glass bottom boat, I think that's the name. The house is gone. It was called ridgetop by brian Fowler. 1261 angelo in los Angeles. Some jerk tore it down to build his Pritzker estate. I'm going to binge on this channel all night. Cant wait to some more content. Excellent work. Cheers
