The 1925 movie Her Husband's Secret was filmed at one of the oceanfront estates of Montecito. "Like father; like son," could have been the title of this film that involves a couple of secrets, as well as an amazing coincidence.
The movie opens with a prologue set in 1900 at a seaside estate featuring a married couple. The husband had a secret life that his wife was unaware of when they married. He was "a sly dog," according to one movie magazine, who could pile on the charm to win over the feminine sex.
