Re: film sets re-used
It's always fun to see the re-created sets from classic sit coms for reunion TV specials. I've seen The Dick Van Dyke show, great recreation and very odd to see the classic livingroom in color, The Andy Griffith Show, not a full recreation, just bits and pieces in a surreal kind of setting, like a stage show set. The I love Lucy sets have been recreated in some detail on several occasions. A stand out was for a TV movie about Lucy.
I think the very best example of recreating sets from the past are the sets for the Steve Martin movie "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid". When the camera switches from the old movie, to Steve Martin's modern footage, you can not tell the difference. VERY detailed. I love this movie.
