Category: Tremont

I believe that I have now seen every full length Hol­ly­wood film that was at least par­tial­ly shot in Tremont. They are: The Deer Hunter, A Christ­mas Sto­ry and Amer­i­can Splen­dor. I watched The Deer Hunter last night, it was pret­ty weird see­ing what Stark­weath­er looked like back in the 1970s, before I‑490 cut the neigh­bor­hood in half. From what I could tell, they just used east­er­ly shots of St. Theo­do­sius’s and an exte­ri­or of Lemko Hall. Since I’ve nev­er been inside St. Theo’s or Lemko Hall I don’t know about the inte­ri­ors. Also, some of the neigh­bor­hood shots could have been shot in the parts of the ‘hood that are under 490. I’m still try­ing to find out where, exact­ly, the house from A Christ­mas Sto­ry is locat­ed. I know it is on W. 11th, south of 490, so maybe I’ll ride my bike over that way today and see if I can spy it out. Amer­i­can Splen­dor just had some exte­ri­ors of Tremont hous­es and an estab­lish­ing shot of St. Theo’s. This is prob­a­bly com­plete­ly bor­ing to any­one but me. That’s what I get for being a film geek.
