It is...take my word on it. Tennessee Williams had a thing about New Orleans. I've been there many times, worked there also. It has it's flare like no other place. Mississippi Delta during the Depression was spot on, of course, 1931 and 1966, not that many years had changed all that much in the Delta.

I've got a thing for "Nawlins" too. Especially the French Quarter! Love that ironwork. The only place that comes close is Quebec, not Montreal and I guess Paris itself, although I've never been there.

I'm from New Orleans and the old section of Zurich looked so much like the French Quarter to me that I thought I was home.

Especially one evening while there I was sitting on my balcony and a provocatively clad young woman on the street shouted up to me "Hey Amerikaner! Zrow down your key!"

We watched it too and I'd never heard of it before either. It's a good movie.
It was actually directed by Sydney Pollack. Coppola wrote the screenplay.

How did you like the Ts and As, trains, music, clothing? The only fluke I know of is a calendar in the office was for 1931 but the movie they went to see didn't come out till 1932. Real good portrayal of Depression years other than the Grapes of Wrath of course. I would love to take Sarah down Route 66 to at least Arizona.

Oh, I really like all that period stuff. Great cars and movie is beautifully shot. I was thinking the same as you about it all being real, not digital especially the overhead shot of the train crossing Lake Ponchetrain. What was that red sedan that Redford collapsed on after Paul Kersey beat him up?

No sure, I'd have to see it again and watch for it. I might just go ahead and order the DVD.

Done, I'll let you know about the sedan as soon as it arrives.
