c.
The house where Rosalind Russell lived with Kim Novaks family was located in Nickerson, Kansas, and was actually across the street from Reno Community High, where Russells character taught school. Location shooting wrapped in nearby Sterling, Kansas, where the lake and bathhouse scenes were filmed. The movies Labor Day festivities called for Sterling Lake to be filled with rowboats, which were in short supply since boating wasnt normally allowed. To make up the shortage, anyone who supplied a rowboat stood a good chance of being a movie extra. Sterling was also where William Holden hopped the Missouri Pacific freight train that was then tracked by cinematographer
Haskell Wexler
in a memorable closing aerial shot.
d.
Writer
Cash Markman
was disappointed that the title of his script - "Sunset Strip" - was changed, so he spoofed
Sunset Blvd.
again in 2002, this time doing the directing, and keeping the title he wanted, and getting his perfect William Holden-type actor - Randy Spears.
