One of the perks of a career in filmmaking, explains Roger Corman in his book, How I Made a Hundred Movies in Hollywood and Never Lost a Dime, is the opportunity to "pick the place you’d love to visit and explore and [then] figure out a way to use it as a location. Then you prepare yourself for the unexpected."
Whether shooting epic battle scenes in the ruins of Athens, Greece, or holing up in Hawaii with a screenwriter suffering from writer’s block, or sipping coffee in an Irish castle before a long day directing dogfights between vintage World War I aircraft, Corman is at home in the world.
But even workaholics need a little R&R. When American Independent Pictures gave him a first class round-trip ticket to scout film locations in Australia, Corman outdid himself. He discovered that the difference between a first-class round trip ticket to Australia and a round-the-world coach ticket to Fiji, Sydney, Tokyo, Manila, Bangkok, Rangoon, New Delhi, Cairo, Europe and home to California, was only $30. He paid the $30 and was off on a month-long adventure around the world!
