Actually, the exterior shots for Woltz's estate were filmed at the old Guggenheim estate on Middleneck Road in Long Island. It's said that it was also F. Scott Fitgerald's inspiration for Jay Gatsby's estate (The Great Gatsby).
-The estate of movie czar Jack Woltz was really the Harold LLoyd Estate ("Greenacres") in Beverly Hills, CA-- NOT the Guggenheim Estate on Long Island. [Interior shots, too? That may've been shot in the Guggenheim, but unconfirmed] *from this website.
