I have solved my own mystery. I rented the DVD last night and went thru the movie and got a good lok at the LH- I was confused. It seemed to be a dead ringer for Portland Head, ME. I checked the info on the DVD about where things were filmed and went to the Universal website and went to the forum about Sno Falling On Cedars and after searching I found a post that indicated that the LH was filmed in Maine. It is Portland Head. I only doubted it after looking because I thought it was all filmed on the west coast. The setting is fictional, but based on true situations that occurred during the period of time before, during and after WWII. It is a very good movie. It deals with the subject with sensitivity. It does continue some stereotypes, but i think part of that is it's attempt to be true to the time in which it is set. So add another movie to the list that have showcased Portland Head. Dennis
