Our favourite movie sets

Match Point
I just saw Woody Allen's Match Point and was blown away by the lead couple's Thamesfront loft. It's not palatial -- in fact, it's a fairly minimalist space dotted with a handful of striking modern art pieces, but it boasts one particularly amazing feature -- the jaw-dropper of a location. A panoramic glass wall offers a breathtaking view across the river to the Houses of Parliament and the city skyline. Makes me want to drop everything and catch the next flight into Heathrow.

The Sound of Music and The Thin Man
The Sound of Music has been a favourite movie since I was a child, and I would listen to the soundtrack over and over on my grandma's hi-fi. I love the grand staircase from which the children sing their goodnight. But the best features of the Von Trapp home are the terrace and the gazebo -- lovely outdoor spaces and oh so romantic! As well, my friend Tracy and I agree that any set with a martini cart -- like The Thin Man -- is at the top of our list. We wish we hadn't missed out on the age of cocktails and art deco furniture!

The Little Princess
This movie for adults and kids features traditional and exotic decors (haute Raj), as well as humour and suspense -- in other words, something for everyone.
