[QUOTE="TJP, post: 306610, member: 5151"] # 2.22 "Murder, They Said" (cont'd - 1): The assassination attempt on Michael was filmed on Midwestern Street at The Burbank Studios (nowadays Midwest Street at Warner Bros. Studios). Except the bank building, which was propped with the lettering "Bank of Truro" (the corner of the building is visible on the left in the last screen capture from this series of pictures), as already seen in Julio's close-up in # 2.21 (see my post no. 52), the other structures / façades basically didn't undergo any redress. They look like Hazzard Square on "The Dukes of Hazzard", which was primarily filmed there at the time; especially Seth M. Barley (a store in Hazzard) is legible. The Picture Palace (the movie theater in the corner building on screen grabs 1, 2 and 5) was usually slightly redressed by adding the respective name of the town in the upper part of the signage atop the marquee. While it was "Hazzard Picture Palace" on "The Dukes" and "Tuscany Picture Palace" on "Falcon Crest", Lorimar apparently didn't care to add "Truro", but simply took the other lettering off. Anyway, you can read more about this key part of the WB backlot and its use as Town Square, Tuscany on "Falcon Crest" with cross-references about "The Dukes" in our "Behind the Scenes" section in the episode featuring Founders Day: [URL]http://www.falconcrest.org/english/master.php?path=show/episodes/ai/bts/2/030[/URL] These exterior sets at WB later also became famous as the town of Stars Hollow on "Gilmore Girls". [ATTACH type="full"]33128[/ATTACH] The editing of the scene with Michael driving along that street in downtown Truro is weird: He is basically circling around. The truck carrying the fruit drives by first, and so does Michael... [ATTACH type="full"]33129[/ATTACH] At the corner of Midwestern and French, Michael makes a left into French Street...
