question about the sets

#1 Post by Waltstasz »

This may be covered somewhere already, but I didn't find it if it was...

Does anyone know if the actual estate was used for any interior shots on the show or did they always film estate interiors on the soundstage? I watched the pilot the other day and some of the estate interior shots were in rooms that I don't think I ever saw again on the show. I know that Higgin's study and the guesthouse were both on the soundstage. Anyone know any interiors were inside the actual house?

Quote from the "Robins Nest" page on this site.

Virtually all of the indoor scenes of Robin's Nest, namely the main house and the guesthouse scenes, were filmed at the Hawaii Film Studio (also known as "Five-O Stage"), located at 510 18th Avenue next to Kapiolani Community College, at the foot of Diamond Head crater. Outside of the semi-enclosed balconies of the guest and main house, there were only two scenes filmed completely inside any of the buildings on the Eve Anderson estate. In the "Pilot Movie", the estate's kitchen was used for a couple of brief scenes, and in "Who is Don Luis Higgins?" (6.19) there is a scene where Tom finds Higgins bound and gagged inside a large shed. The "shed" was actually the real interior of the estate's boathouse, the guesthouse in the show!

Tral,

How did you find this out? I have always heard a very similar account but I have no way to verify it. Thanks.
