I have seen this movie many times..Why?,,because, the most of it was filmed in Chester CT,,,,not Deep River or Essex. How do I know that? I grew up in that town,,,and can give many instances relating to that movie....the beginning of the movie,,when Doris Day goes to Jack Lemons office,,,was in Chester center, my parents owned the building where that scene was filmed. The meeting house scenes was located around the corner from my house. I spent hundreds of hours in that building as well as playing baseball in the open grass field with my brothers.... The time when Doris Day runs out of the meeting and Jack Lemon goes out in his car and catches up to her at a water fall. That area is next to the house I grew up in, and spent many hours on hot summers day playing on and near that waterfall.. The last scene of the movie, with the fire truck, was filmed in Chester Center. The fire truck was turned over the town fire department (Chester Hose Company) after the filming was finished and served the town over 25 years.
I could go on and on, loved the seeing the movie in part, because of all the memories it brings back and about every 5 years, the town holds a movie festival and shows that movie in the meeting house. It was a fun event for all who attends. To this day, some of the locals who had bit parts in the movie show up to shine once again.
