Favourite movie set decor

Movies are a great source of inspiration. I particularly love the old Hollywood "white telephone"   movies, made popular in the 1930s. These movies were about rich people living superficial lives with nothing much to do and were set against an opulent backdrop. The glamour portrayed through the luxurious, decadent sets and costumes was illusive and dreamy. If only I could capture and afford such luxury! I also like the modern, classic sets of Nancy Myers films, like in Something's Gotta Give and The Holiday. However, my favourite film set decor at the moment is Ms. Pettigrew Lives for a Day. The deco detailing, black doors, tufted silk headboards and gold accents are fabulous. I've been trying for the past year to find a large round white faux fur rug after falling in love with the one in movie. Let me know if you find one at a great price. My living room awaits.
