On Location in Real Life, Old School Liquor Stores

Adam-12 
Police Story

Mannix created this liquor store set at Paramount where you can see the lack of stock. The backs of the shelves are empty with bottles pushed to the front.

  1. Interesting observation.
    You can definitely see the difference between the set and the real thing. How the bottles are perfectly uniform on the set.Looks very staged.

    1. Also the lighting.
      The lighting on a set usually appeared very diffuse,where a real location it was more coming from sunlight out the windows.
      Alot of Universal shows had this bright uniform lighting on their sets.Not very natural looking in my opinion.
