Are ther any silent films that were shot in location in Michigan?
I know of some soundies that take place in MI, PAPER LION, JACKTOWN,
and ROGER AND ME. However, have there been any silents, Hollywood
scripted or newsreel, that take place in the "Land Of Lakes?"

I can't think of any silent films, but what comes to mind from early
sound is that Fitzpatrick short about the Dutch festival at Holland,
Michigan.

We called it the "tulip festival" when my family went, I don't know
what the official title is. Ah yes, tulips, windmills, wooden shoes,
cleaning the streets with brooms... Did I mention giant fields of
tulips? To a child's eyes anyway.
http://www.imdb.com has some location searches you can do. You have to
go down into the "advanced searches" or whatever they called it. Then
you can search for filming locations. Then I think I remember that you
can sort them by year to find the silents...

Henry Ford had a film unit that produced silent films in Detroit/Dearborn.
His amazing Dearborn plant certainly was featured in silent newsreels.
Michigan football was probably depicted very early, and Michigan locations
were sometimes inserted into "Life of an American Fireman" (1902). |

I thought The Silent Enemy was shot in Michigan, then remembered I
thought this because a wolverine played a prominent role in the film!
Well, it SHOULD have been shot in Michigan! |

The Labadie-Detroit Motion Picture Company operated a studio on land now
occupied by Kensington Metropark in Livingston County. Their films include
"Three Bad Men" (1915) & "Then Came the Woman" (1926).
Some other sound films with Michigan locations are "This Time for Keeps" (1947),
"Anatomy of a Murder" (1959), "Somewhere in Time" (1980) and "8 Mile" (2002). |

I can't tell you of any silent films shot in Michigan,
however Buster Keaton spent many of his summers in Muskegon
Its said that that Buster donated the TV
He received from THIS IS YOUR LIFE to the local lodge

<<Some other sound films with Michigan locations are "This Time for Keeps"
(1947),
"Anatomy of a Murder" (1959), "Somewhere in Time" (1980) and "8 Mile" (2002).>>
Road to Perdition (2002) in GR and
Saugatuck.
The Evil Dead and ED2 (1981 and 1987) in Detroit (appropriately enough).
Hoffa (1992) in Hastings and Detroit.
Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) in Grosse Pointe.
Robocop (1987) in Detroit.
The Rosary Murders (1987) in Detroit.
Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988)
should have been shot in Ypsilanti, but
Francis Ford Coppola's people made it
in Northern California. Detroit-born Coppola
should have known better.
When Paul Schrader made Hardcore (1979)
in Grand Rapids, he told the Chamber of
Commerce types that the movie would be
called "The Pilgrim."
