Movies & Million-Dollar Mansions: Silent Movies Made In Montecito, Ca

Interesting & informative survey of the 60+ silent movies filmed on the fabled estates of Montecito, CA. Nineteen movie studios traveled from the Hollywood area (plus two from Santa Barbara) to film more than 60 movies here. The chapter for each movie contains a lively synopsis, behind-the-scenes info, and photos from the movie and the million-dollar mansion where it was filmed. The movies began with a religious theme in 1911, then came melodramas and adventure, and ended in 1928 with a jazz-age movie based on a Broadway musical. The book also includes a chapter with descriptions and photos of each estate.
