List of The Merry Gentlemen’s filming locations where it was shot
The Merry Gentlemen features multiple locations including Ephrata in Pennsylvania, Santa Clarita in California, and Herald Square in New York.
Below is a detailed description of where different scenes from the movie were exactly filmed:
NYC, New York: The film begins by introducing Ashley, residing in New York. She later gets removed from the dance troupe, The Jingle Belles. Saddened by the news, a nostalgic Ashley longs for a holiday season. At that time, a brief shot showcases The Bennett Memorial in Herald Square, New York.
Golden Oak Ranch: Most scenes from The Merry Gentlemen use Disney’s Golden Oak Ranch setting in Santa Clarita, California. The ranch has served as a popular destination for filming numerous popular projects over the years. The projects include WandaVision, HBO’s Westworld, and more.
Many spots from the ranch collectively bring Sycamore Creek to fruition. The fictional place is the hometown of Ashley, which she returns to, to save her parents’ bar business. In the beginning, the ranch’s Block G’s art deco movie theater also turned into a city Broadway theater, where the main lead’s introduction takes place.
Additionally, Luke’s rustic barn, where a brief romantic moment also takes place between the main leads, is also set in a similar ranch.
Ephrata, Pennsylvania: The establishing shots and scenic beauty of the fictional town Sycamore Creek that the audience witnesses from afar is reportedly of Ephrata, Pennsylvania. The beautiful town gives a northeastern vibe to the perfect Christmas movie from a wider shot.
