I would have never guessed New Hampshire is where it was filmed, if I read the credits right that is.

That movie was as good as it was the first time. I even picked up more things I hadn't the first time. The music, the lake, birds was just like "oh take me there forever". Ethel and the "old poops" relationship was so wonderful.

Anyone live up that way, maybe see that gorgeous place? Denise

I can say that in general the New England section of the US is my favorite; Vermont specifically.

Interesting aside about the location from Wiki:

When visiting Holderness, New Hampshire, one can take a boat tour of Squam Lake and view the filming sites from the movie. There is also a restaurant called "Walter's Basin," which is named after the trout called "Walter" that Billy catches with Norman. For filming, "Walter" was brought in from a trout pond at the nearby Castle in the Clouds estate. He was released after his capture back into Squam Lake. Leftover footage of Fonda and Hepburn driving through the New Hampshire countryside, as seen in the opening credits, was later used for the opening of the CBS television sitcom Newhart.

Yes, I agree, Denise, a great movie that displayed insight into humanity with a very talented cast.

YW, Denise. I love New England and found out after some genelogical research that I had great grandparents who came from there. And my great, great, great, great grandfather settled in Conn. in the 17the century when it was still a British colony. I think I have a genetic pull or something.
