[Patti Feinberg]

Who here knows MB put much effort and thought into the montage pic/ep 80 with Roger on  the loneeeeely beach....searching for the pen?

Very cool pic...such atmosphere...such penmanship!

I love Big Lou's clenched jaw and narrowed eyes, knowing that no matter how brilliant his thespian artistry, he could never possiibly upstage THE Pen in the scene where Alex confronts him with it.

CLASSIC DS!  Sadly, after the "Introduction of the Pen" storyline, it was ALL downhill.

I am enjoying ALL the montages that MB posts. There was one particular one of Roger scowling that I would love to frame.
Keep 'em coming, kid!

Actually, knowing it's THE pen, I re-looked at the marvelous picture.

Does anyone know where Louis was for this footage? (I'm ass-u-meing NY somewhere...)

according to the d.s. almanac the exterior shots were filmed in newport,rhode island,scarborough,n.y.,tarrytown,n.y. and essex connecticut.so my guess would be that the shots of roger were in newport since that's right on the ocean.

the exterior shots were so cool i wish they had continued with them but apparently they became cost-ineffective.they did take some exterior shots of barnabas at the old house(the spratt mansion).they must have been strictly publicity stills since they never appear in any episodes.i read somewhere that this house burned to the ground in the late 1960's(probably shortly after the stills were taken).

 I agree.  The exterior sequences on early DS were wonderful.  It's a shame they stopped shooting them.

I can see going all the way to Newport if you needed a mansion in the background.  But a shot of just Roger on the beach could have been obtained a whole lot closer to home in New York.

Actually, you could have even shot the mansions on the Gold Coast of Long Island.

It would be interesting to know how those location choices were made.

Very good.  Yes, that's Newport's Cliff Walk.  (Though the word "cliff" is used lightly.)  Have you visited Newport, mscbryk?  If not, I think you'd really enjoy a visit to the mansion.

I've heard it was in 1969 or 1970.

Last year, a group of us tried to find what little is left of Spratt House but failed.  Like one of Bobubas' visits, it was nearly disastrous.  But one of these days I'm going to get back there (during a season with less brush, I hope) to finally locate it.
