An amusing map from 1927, showing which areas of California could be used to film movies that you wanted to look like other parts of the world.

Not shown on this map is that Long Beach is almost always playing Miami in some movie or another. Maybe that’s a more recent development?

Cannot resist the counter observation – all the parts of the world that have been used as film representations of the USA – take mini-Hollywood near Tabernas to the north of Almeria in Spain for example (http://www.unique-almeria.com/mini-hollywood.html) which featured so prominently in films such as “A fistful of dollars” and “The good, the bad and the ugly”…
