One of my favorites of such things involves the film "The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!"

Wikipedia:

"Although set on the fictional 'Gloucester Island' off the coast of Massachusetts, the movie was filmed on the coast of Northern California, mainly in Mendocino.  The harbor scenes were filmed in Noyo Harbor in Fort Bragg, California, about 7 miles north of Mendocino.  Because of the filming location on the West Coast, the dawn scene at the beginning of the film was actually filmed at dusk through a pink filter."
