My hometown movie...

This is one of my favorite movies of all time, basically because of the history it brings to me of the area where I live and the places I know by heart. My mother grew up in "Thunder Bay" ( known as Big bay Michigan ) My aunt worked in the bar at the time in which the real storyline took place. My mom was 16 when they filmed it and can recall the "movie stars" around town and relates that it was such a big thing at that time. The bar they filmed in ( not the actual bar that the shooting happened in ) is in a beautiful bed and breakfast type hotel overlooking Lake superior. The courthouse is beautiful to this day. The marble steps in the courthouse were the setting of my brother's wedding. In the opening shot when "Paul" drives to his home after the fishing trip, down the main street, That was blocks from a house my husband and I just sold. I finally bought the DVD and will cherish showing my kids and being able to point out landmarks to them as they grow older... Just wanted to share
