Where was Doc Hollywood filmed
Doc Hollywood
Year: 1991
Country: USA
<p>The movie is known for its unusual choice of locations for filming. Although the action of the story originally takes place in Georgia, it was moved to South Carolina for the movie. Most of the filming of the movie took place in Florida, in the picturesque towns of Micanopy and McIntosh, located south of Gainesville. Additional scenes were filmed in Los Angeles. Micanopy and McIntosh were chosen for their country-town atmosphere, and to create the right ambiance, they underwent a massive $12 million dollar makeover, according to the American Film Institute. These towns became the screen incarnation of the fictional Grady, South Carolina, where much of the movie's events unfold. The movie begins with fast-paced scenes in Los Angeles, showing the life of the main character, Benjamin Stone, before his accidental arrival in Grady. The contrast between the bustling metropolis and the measured small-town lifestyle emphasizes a key theme of the story.</p>
