Book from several years ago: movie/tv filming location trivia?

Cafe Society

I’m trying to remember the name of this book. I remember reading reviews about it in 2004, and I think it was fairly new at that time.

Anyway, it gave trivia location for various places, among them (I think):

I remember the author was very proud of having discovered the filming location of the crop duster sequence in “North by Northwest” from digging thru the film’s production records.

He also mentioned the marina where the opening shots of “Gilligan’s Island” were filmed, and a bunch of others.

Anyone???

(I’ve looked at amazon.com under “filming locations,” but none of those look like the right ones.)

Thanks so much for the helpful responses! While I don’t have the exact title of the book, I did miraculously find the note where I had scribbled the author’s name. It is Chris Epting and he has written several books on pop culture locations. I’m posting it here so that it will be preserved for prosperity. Yes, deliberate malaprop

:confused:

Were all responses to this OP coincidentally sent via PM?

Earl,
I just ordered “James Dean Died Here” by Epting at Amazon. I’m really into that kind of trivia, so thanks for the info.
