And on a related exterior-note, the Ennis House is hosting guided tours, once again. It was funny to read that shortly before it's sale to the current owner; the agent, and a potential buyer mulled over the idea of moving the entire house to Japan (2010).

MemberNoobOct-19-2014 1:49 PMTetris, there is a photo-legend added to my previous posting. The white horse in the pool (21) is from the film The Day of the Locust (1975). Someone joked on the set that all the pool needed was a dead horse, and so the Set Director tossed one in for good measure (of course it's not real). And the model in the fashion photo-strip (25) is Barbara Leigh, photographed by Helmut Newton.

The interior of the Ennis House wasn't available for BR, and so they came-up with an apartment set incorporating it's block pattern (using a casting). Ridley would return to shoot the interior space for Black Rain (1989). When It became cost-prohibitive to continue shooting in Japan; Ridley moved the production to Los Angeles. And he ended-up using a couple of unseen areas from BR locations to finish the picture.


The Ennis House tours (obligatory) are part of a condition of the sale to the current owner. Also the same terms will be applied to any future owners; thus ensuring public access to this historic landmark property.
