3 Fantastic Dick Van Dyke Set Shots…
We’ve seen the bedroom shot before but the other two living room shots are brand new. The large one here gives us an “Ah ha moment” as we finally see the kitchen set to the right of the living room, and if you look closely you can see the office set at the far end of the studio. See the bookcase behind Rob’s desk?
This probably means the bedroom set would be to the left of the living room, but at near a 90 degree angle.
On ‘I Love Lucy’, the set up is almost the same…the living room was in the center and the kitchen and bedroom areas on either side with the bedroom and kitchen spaces the ones used for sets outside the apartment. To the far right of Lucy’s living room was the club set which was also used for non apartment scenes when there were no club shots. Enjoy and share! – Bobby Ellerbee
Great photos, Dick and I worked at WCON-TV / WLW-A TV in ’53 in Atlanta,Ga He was fun to work with. I was in LA and he invited me to the filming of the show had a ball.
GOD, these are fantastic! I seriously LOVE your page!
Interesting to see the fill light mounted on the camera. To eliminate its shadow as it moved in front on other lights?
What lot did they shoot at?
Absolutely Awesome photos Bobby!
Good stuff. Thanks.
These shots are solid GOLD!
Makes one wonder how the actors don’t become distracted with all that stuff going on around them.
