Greene and Greene and Marty and Doc

>Flipping stations this weekend, I started watching the first "Back to the Future" movie. It's obvious that Doc Brown's house is a Greene and Greene creation, but I think there are actually several in the picture. The shots of Doc Brown's house probably offer the greatest details. What a garage door! Plenty of period funishings as well.

I think it may have been more of a Hollywood trick, but the stone work on some of the other houses have a Greene and Greene look. Hollywood trick in the sense that the brick work may not have belonged to the house it appeared to in the film.

Anyway, all 3 of the films have been running back to back on HDNet Movies and I suspect are likely to again in the following weeks, though for the Greene and Greene enthusiast, I think the first is the one to watch. (Probably the best film of the lot too.)

>They did use the Gamble House for the movie. I'm not sure about the interior but I do know the exterior shots were of the actual house.

>Since I've become interested in Greene and Greene, Mission and Bungalow styles, I've noticed these style homes are often used in television and film. Why, I don't know. The problem for me is that I get so caught up in looking at the architecture or furnishings that I lose track of the story.
