Moviemaking at Mackinac

Mackinac History: A Continuing Series of Illustrated Vignettes, Volume IV, Leaflet #2

A lighthearted "Aqua Musical." A heavy drama with a strong anti-communism message. A romantic fantasy that has risen to the level of cult classic. And a technicolor travelogue as enticing to listen to as it is to watch. These are just a few of the movies that have used Mackinac Island as a backdrop since the advent of the filming industry.
