ReplyDeleteThis is such a good movie! Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger were at the tops of their games, and the writing and directing were excellent.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how many of these filming spots have changed or disappeared over the years, and the detailed breakdown makes it feel like retracing the movie scene by scene, the same way fans enjoy uncovering hidden paths inside a Max Level Brawlers. It’s always cool seeing how real locations evolve long after filming. Really enjoyed this list.
