Rupert Murdoch's Moraga winery in Bel-Air was Victor Fleming's horse ranch from 1939 until his death in '49.

This photo of Fleming was taken in 1934 with the stars of "Reckless". It wasn't taken at Fleming's ranch, which he didn't own yet, but looks suitably bucolic:


imdb

IMDB quotes a charming anecdote about Fleming,

"Director Henry Hathaway, a former Fleming assistant director, said of his old boss, "There was more of Fleming in [Clark Gable] than there was Gable in Gable. I think that Gable really mimicked Victor Fleming and became that kind of man on the screen".
