No Polaroid pictures here, private cameras were forbidden on the backlot or sets, so one had to be a bit sneaky to get any pics. The famous cable car sequence was one of the best parts in the movie, only problem the castle "SCHLOSS ADLER" (Hohenwerfen) they filmed on location in Austria didn't have a cable car which was an integral part of the story so a model mountain the height of 2.5 double decker buses was built on the backlot. Even close up it looked real. As I said cameras were forbidden in the studio so I smuggled in a Kodak instamatic disguised as my lunch and removed the paper bag from around the lens and viewfinder and sneaked up the lot in my lunch hour and I am glad I did the mountain was destroyed a week after these pics were taken.   Size 496.43K  Date Sep,16,2006     Title WED-MOUNTAIN-Image1-txt Description The model of Shloss Adler built on the MGM back lot, in the forground you can see the mechanism they used to control the model cable car.   Size 390.18K  Date Sep,16,2006     Title WED-MOUNTAIN-Image2-txt Description Looks real doesn't it.   Size 353.19K  Date Sep,16,2006     Title WED-MOUNTAIN-Image3-txt Description In the forground you can see a model of the cable car station, the contraption on the left was used to pulley the model cable car up and down the mountain.   Size 372.98K  Date Sep,16,2006     Page 1 of 2 , there are 7 images in this channel.
