In these shots from “The Monkees”, and their feature film "Head", you can see see the Sunset Gower Studios in it's 1967 glory. “Bewitched” was filmed inside Stage 4, seen below.
“I Dream of Jeannie” was also filmed here and you can see some repurposing of a Jeannie costume, as well as the green giant phone from a 1967 episode called “My Shrinking Master”.
Nice detective work again.
ReplyDeleteI was always amazed at those huge phone props.They made it so believable that the actor was shrunk down to 4" tall.
Universal had a black one .
I saw it in person at the lot in '84.
And as a carpenter and prop maker myself,I know the materials and effort it took to make those huge phones.
DeleteIf filmed maybe two years later, they wouldn't have built a giant phone. They would have used the Chroma Key blue screen setup to shrink the actors onto a zoomed in shot of the regular telephone.
