Where was this movie filmed?

Question

I was wondering if anyone knew where the musical "State Fair" (the 1945 version) was filmed and when it was filmed. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

TCM says it was filmed in January of 1945... so it couldn't have been filmed in Iowa... it would have been impossible in an Iowa winter. I think Lobo Man is way off. But I can't find out where it was filmed.

Answer 2

i love that movie! it was filmed in thousand oaks, california at russell ranch.

Answer 3

According to the Internet Movie Database, it is the Iowa State Fair, so I'm guessing.. Iowa? :)

P.s. Jmp, at least I provided a *link*, you provided nothing.

If you look at the sidebar, you'll find the filming locations (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038116/loca... ), which states 'Russell Ranch - Triunfo Canyon Road, Thousand Oaks, California, USA' as the location of filming.
