Dolby contributes to Tahoe’s cinematic tradition
By Carla Meyer, Sacramento Bee
Filmmaker Tom Dolby started with a prime Lake Tahoe location and planned his debut feature from there.
It’s his family’s house, already featured in a famous film: the 1951 Elizabeth Taylor-Montgomery Clift melodrama “A Place in the Sun” directed by George Stevens.
“I had written the screenplay to fit the house – we have the ideal set there,” Dolby said of his family’s vacation home on the West Shore.
