Hi. I am looking for a suggestion on how to find info on where and what dates this serial was filmed. I have heard it was shot in southeastern Kentucky. So far, I have not seen anything to back this up. Any ideas?
Thank you.

This website has some information about film locations: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0004465/locations. It was filmed all over the place. The waterfall scene was here near Ithaca NY at Taughanock Falls. There are some Cayuga Lake scenes as well. I've also heard of locations in the Poconos and Adirondack Mountains. I never heard of KY locations, but could well be. There were at least two later versions of the Perils of Pauline as well.

Bay Shore New York..on Long Island. I read that in a newspaper.
Characters Welcome.
Local legend has it that some of it was filmed around Port Henry, NY in the Adirondacks.
shareWell i was talking old movies with my 80 year old grandfather and he got on the subject of Perils of Pauline, and how it was filmed in the next town over ---- Dover New Jersey, morris county. I wanted to check it out and thought i would find an answer on IMDB but just found this blog, lol, who knows right?
shareI watched the first episode. Pearl gets into a balloon, and it starts rising above the skies over- Palisades Amusement Park. The same amusement park made famous nearly fifty years later by a song written by future game-show maven Chuck Barris. It is no accident that they filmed there, since the owners of the park at the time were the Schenck Brothers, Nicholas and Joseph. They, too, were in the movie business, which was centered in nearby Fort Lee. Motion pictures would be their real life's work once they got out to Hollywood a decade or so later. And the hair-raising, dangling-from-a-train episodes were filmed using the train that used to ride along the palisades (not too far from park).
I'll have to next see what Pearl is doing in Ausable Chasm and Saranac Lake, both in upper New York state, and two places I used to go to as a kid.
