| Director of Photography Peter Falk and producer John Hipwell prepare to film the farmhouse at Cope's Tract, Montrose Pennsylvania | ||
In 1939 unknown to Sir Hubert, Lady Wilkins bought a property known as Cope's Tract in Susquehanna county, Pennsylvania. Sir Hubert first saw the property in August of that year. The solitude of the property appealed to Sir Hubert he said, "Its loneliness, if we could keep it so, was an asset. It was a place at which I imagined that, in the future, I could sit quietly and put together the material for several books I had been asked to write." The property became a retreat for all of Wilkins' "society friends" with big stars of the New York stage visiting for weekends of rest and relaxation. The property was auctioned in October 1998. We met the auctioneers who sold it and they claimed that among the items auctioned were signed paintings by Clark Gable and Mary Pickford! | ||
