My Name Is Gegham Gary Izmirian I Have The Mrs DoubtFire Movie On DVD Right Now and I Will Always Have Robin Williams In My Heart Forever and I Am Watching The Mrs DoubtFire Filming Locations Video Right Now
I lived in SF back in the 90's and always took my dogs to Alta Plaza Park on Steiner. Then one day there were these big filming trailers on the streets. Didn't know what was being filmed but a week later I saw Mrs. Doubtfire on the street. Someone said that is Robin Williams filming a movie. You forgot the swimming pool location. It's the Claremont Hotel and Spa in Berkeley Hills. For the longest time I thought the pool was at some posh location in the LA area.
I’ve eaten at the restaurant where they filmed the restaurant scene for this movie. I live in the Bay Area so it basically just looks like a typical restaurant. I saw that framed poster on the wall from the movie.
Thank you for this fantastic video. It is so thorough. I too live in San Francisco and now I will go find those rare locations you have found. I always love when we drive by the Mrs. Doubtfire home. I look for Robin Williams and Polly Holiday. Ha ha.
I've seen lots of these Doubtfire filming locations videos and this one by far is the most intricately made, with great comparison details noted for accuracy. Really appreciate this well-made video.
Amazing work. Thank you for showing the filming locations of one of my favorite movies. The video brought my childhood memories of the film back when I first saw it.
Lived in Danville then ....They tented Bridges so they could film during the day...Now I live on Steiner , 3 blocks from the house and see people there every day taking pics.
Thanks for the Doubtfire tour and your great detective work. I have a heart felt liking for San Francisco. I was born there in 1954 and lived in town from 1977-1991. Cheers
That was perfectly charming!! I studied under both Mr Sydney Walker (the bus driver) and Mr Jim Cranna (the red headed inquisitor at the pool). I could never figure out where Mr Harvey Fierstein (and Mr Scott Capurro)'s place was! Bravo!! Ps, I used to live next to the school and was stunned my first morning waking up to the sound of kids dinning at 7am.
This movie makes me nostalgic about the 1990s, of the city of SF, Robin Williams, Sally Field. Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" does the same thing for me about the early 1960s, also of SF but NoCal in general & Tippi Hedrin, Veronica Cartwright---who was in 1950's, 1960's TV shows. The 1970's movie "Chinatown" makes me feel the same way about the 1930s, of the city of LA, Jack Nicolson, Faye Dunaway. Hitchcock's very soundstage-mannered movie "Rear Window" gives a melancholy quality about the 1950s, of the city of NY, James Stewart, Grace Kelly. An oddly clumsy movie (with a signature score), "Breakfast at Tiffany's," also does that for 1950s-1960s NYC & cast members like Audrey Hepburn. A movie made over 50 years later, "La La Land," is similarly clumsy (with a signature score) & also very geographic oriented, but it gives a melancholy quality to the 2010s, of the city of LA, Ryan Gosling, Emma Sands. "Groundhog Day" of the early 1990s captures some of the same qualities found in all these movies. IMHO, of course, because people (based on written reviews or as told to me) will have totally different reactions to these films.
Nope. Sally Fields office is at the top of the 1870s Victorian Audiffred bldg, at 1 Mission (at the Embarcadero). The glassed in office was then new. The hotel across the street was built later. Boulevard was probably at the street level then too but the building itself has a fantastic history.
