About
A ground-breaking book about silent movies filmed on the fabled estates of Montecito, California. Nineteen movie studios traveled from the Hollywood area (plus two from Santa Barbara) to film more than 60 movies here. The movies began with a religious theme in 1911, then moved on to melodramas and suspense, and ended in 1928 with a jazz-age movie based on a Broadway musical. The chapter for each movie contains a lively synopsis, behind-the-scenes info, and photos from the movie and the million-dollar mansions. The book also includes a chapter with descriptions and photos of each estate
