House in North by Northwest
Was the house in North by Northwest, the one on top of the ridge, a Frank Lloyd Wright house? Does anyone know where that house is located?
Found this on Wikipedia, so I can answer my own post:
The house at the end of the film was not real. Hitchcock asked the set designers to make the set resemble a house by Frank Lloyd Wright, the most popular architect in America at the time, using the materials, form and interiors associated with him. The set was built in Culver City, where MGM was located.
So I am not the only one who wondered about this? That is good to know. I have always descibed this house as the "Frank Lloyd Wright looking house"...
