My books examine the locations and historical settings preserved in the background of their classic films, and the changes wrought by the ensuing decades.<br /><br />My Chaplin book covers the studio in great detail, including shots of how it appears during different movies, and also that map you found at the LAPL.<br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration<br /> <br />John Bengtson<br /> <br />http://SilentLocations.WordPress.comJohn Bengtsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633816278415014207.post-1100105533131182022011-06-07T20:58:34.295-07:002011-06-07T20:58:34.295-07:00Diallo, you old dog!
