    Monterey In The Movies Monterey In The Movies A fairly comprehensive guide to 188 motion pictures filmed in and around the Monterey Peninsula. By James B. Toy Revised August 2018 Monterey In The Movies This document is a handy, printable version of the Monterey In The Movies section of my website The Monterey Peninsula Toy Box at www.montereypeninsula.info. Please visit the website for the latest version, which will be updated from time to time as new information becomes available. Contents: Introduction.....................................................1 Movie listing by title.......................................2 Movie listing by year.......................................5 Detailed film list..............................................8 Appendix Films removed from the original list..............96 To Eternity but not From Here........................97 Technical Notes..............................................99 Monterey In The Movies Introduction Since the very earliest days of motion pictures, the Monterey Peninsula, along with much of Monterey County, has been a popular place for location shooting. More than 180 movies have been shot, at least in part, in this area. Some films may contain just a few seconds of footage, while others use the area for the entire feature. Aside from the obvious amusement factor, these films offer rare glimpses into the past of our community. The core list of films provided here was originally compiled in the 1980s by Joe Graziano of the Monterey County Herald, who wrote the Professor Toro column for many years. With help from his "Constant Readers" he was able to track down this vital information. We are most grateful for his efforts. I have added to the list movies made since that time. I have also removed four movies from the list after watching them and realizing that they were not actually filmed here.
