Back in 1914 Rio Vistans were all excited about the filming locally of Cameo Kirby, starring Dustan Farnum and Winifred Kingston. It was a silent film about a devil-may-care riverboat gambler with a cameo ring. Much of the story took place aboard a paddlewheeler with a New Orleans setting. Many local people served as extras. In 1916 the movie people were filming the movie Jim Bledso in the Rio Vista area. The script called for a fire aboard the vintage 1890 sternwheeler Grace Barton, to be filmed near Wood Island, which has since been dredged away. Movie fires in those silent film days were created with smoke pots, all smoke but little or no flames. Something went awry during the Jim Bledso filming. The old riverboat caught fire and soon was destroyed by flames. They say there was quite a bit of realism to that movie as passengers were fleeing the inferno. The fire had not been intended. And, I expect that after paying for a riverboat, the movie went a bit over budget. ______________________ Suisun  The General's Daughter (1999) Starring John Travolta While the end credits were rolling, the car driving through the swamp was actually filmed at a road on Grizzly Island, south of Suisun City. IMDb Info Info01 Howard The Duck Directed by George Lucas Rio Vista and Suisun Marshes. It contained some nice aerial scenes of Howard flying over the Suisun Marshes.
