Three-part series from 1980 on the history of film and television production in San Diego

In 1980, News 8 ran a three-part series called “San Diego Goes to the Movies” all about television and movie production in America’s Finest City. In part one, reporter Doug McAllister goes way back in the history of film in California and to the location of one San Diego’s first motion picture studios The American Film Manufacturing Company which was located at Third Street and La Mesa Boulevard in the heart of what is now La Mesa Village. Also known as Flying A Studios, the company’s filmmaker Allan Dwan made over 150 movies in San Diego County – many in East County – which were mostly westerns. Doug also spoke to Dr. Ray Brandes – a USD history and archeology professor who became known as the preeminent historian of San Diego – about local movie-making history. In the second installment of the series, News 8 skims through the 1930s - ‘60s which saw less Hollywood-type action in San Diego. But we do get a glimpse of Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemmon filming “Some Like It Hot” at the Hotel del Coronado in 1958. Mostly this portion looks at what was then contemporary movie and television making in San Diego. Doug visited the set of “Borderline” - a crime drama which starred Charles Bronson and Ed Harris – and spoke to producer Jim Nelson about the ways the city and County of San Diego helped production run smoothly. Marty Feldman is seen walking downtown with cast and crew. There are also glimpses of production on films "In God We Trust" and "A Force of One" in San Diego. Former San Diego Mayor Roger Hedgecock can be seen as an extra in the latter. For part 3 of the series, Doug focused on the economic impact of film and TV making in San Diego and how the Chamber of Commerce’s Motion Picture and Television Bureau worked to keep directors, producers and stars coming back. He also spoke about the future of the industry locally and how it could benefit locals without turning the area into another Hollywood. https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/loc...
