I have a few, which may have already been asked/answered over the years, but here is one that I've always wondered about. In TAGS, as well as so many other movies and television shows in the 50's and 60's, nighttime scenes are obviously not shot at night. it appears there is just some type of darkening filter over the camera lens to simulate evening. Sometimes it's kind of funny to see shadows, when a scene is obviously shot in broad daylight when it's supposed to be 10 o'clock at night.
So.....does anybody know why "night" scenes were not actually filmed at night? Was it the existing technology at the time, and cameras not able to film without floodlights? Was it work rules prohibiting cast and crew from working at night? Was it simply that no one wanted to work at night and just work straight daytime hours so they could go home at night?
