Malta location

[Paola]

Ciao!

Does anybody know where in Malta are the locations for the two episodes: (3-03) Maltese Steele and (3-08) Puzzled Steele?

Thanks for you help.
Have a nice day.

I do, but I'll have to go back through the cassette from the lunch/interview I had with Doris Roberts when I was writing Steele Loved. Give me a day or two and I'll let you know. If I can't find them in the tape, I'll call Michael Gleason and ask him to pull the scripts and give me the shooting schedule. It has the locations listed on it.

Judy,

I would love to know exactly where in Ireland "Remington" filmed. I know about Anamoe, Castletown House, and Ashford Castle but I would to know all the major locations. Is it possible to find that out?

I'll add it to the note to Michael. He's already got one e-mail today asking him to pull the shooting schedules.

Judith you are great! Thank you very much.
I'd like to know about Ireland too, I really don't know when I can fly to Malta or Ireland because of personal problems but I'll keep your information and I'm sure I'll use them sooner or later. Thanks again. Paola.

Michael called me this afternoon and said that he'd pulled the scripts and the two shows in Malta were filmed in Valletta. Valletta is the capital city of Malta and you can get a full view of the city at the website below.

Debra, he said he'd get back to me on the remaining shots in Ireland for "Steele Your Heart Away" and "Steeled With A Kiss." You already know most of the locations but something I didn't know, because he didn't mention it until today, was that MTM Productions also owned a small studio in Dublin and that's where most of the interiors for "Steele Your Heart Away" were shot.

Thank you very much Judith.

Have a nice day. Paola.

Thanks, Judy. I'm really curious to hear what he says.

There are 3 specific Irish locations I'm curious about:

"Steele Your Heart Away"
1.) Where was the quaint railroad crossing where R and L choked the 'policeman' in the 'police car' and escaped into the countryside? Was it near Anamoe or closer to Carton House?

2.) Where was the horse stable/barn Laura and Remington climbed into via the tall window when they ended up in the hayloft? I know the house used in that episode was Carton House. Was that barn near Carton House?

"Steeled with a Kiss"
1.) Where was the 'village' where R and Tony had their fistfight? Since Ashford's nearest town is Cong, that seems logical...but I didn't see anything there that looked like it. Was
it an actual village or merely a set somewhere? It looked the same village that was used in "Manions of America". I wonder if was Bunratty Folk Park or something similiar to that.

Interesting that MGM had a studio in Dublin. I know they shot interiors at Ardmore Studios, but had no idea MGM had its own studio.

Interesting trivia: I got an e-mail from a girl whose family lived in Anamoe House at the time of filming. (It was the house used for Patrick O'Rourke's wake in "St. Your Heart Away".) She said they only shot exteriors there. They're currently trying to sell the house.
