BACKLOT
Warner Brothers, Western Street
Scenes from
The Shootist
filmed here
In late May 2003, the Laramie Street western sets were bulldozed away,
being replaced by a new suburban street.
The following pictures are from the personal collection of Stephen Lodge.
Looking north or northeast.
This is what was at one time called Laramie Street;
that was when Warner's had another huge Western Street set.
Together that made for blocks and blocks of streets.
This was taken around 1980, when, I think, they were doing the new Maverick series
with James Garner.
An article in Life magazine in the late '50's showed the WB
back lot Western streets from the air. and there were
at least six companies shooting on one block,
around the corner, on the next block, etc.
Looking east or southeast. Note the side street.
This side street could be used as an entirely different town,
when shot from different angles.
Taken from the side street looking west or southwest toward the main street.
This angle seen many times in old Mavericks, Sugarfoots, Cheyennes, etc,
in the '50's. It looked like a back lot even then.
Looking south or southwest. Note the familiar mountain in the background.
possibly Mt. Lee!, the other side is the Hollywood sign.
It can also be seen in many pictures shot on the Universal back lot
which parallels Warner Bros.
