No, no. And I won't claim Major League (hi Sr8!) was a Milwaukee movie. Or, for that matter, that the Crucible was really about the less-famous Ipswich witch trials.
The point was a limited one, relating to a movie that appeared to be without specific location in the movie itself, but was obviously filmed in a certain location, with additional literary attributes suggesting a location.
But Paigow, in all her brilliance, has corrected me, by noting that it was set specifically in Amity, a fictional town that really represented a town on Long Island, and was specifically mentioned in both the movie
and the book. And, obviously, that location was integral to the plot, such that one could easily mentally substitute long island when one sees edgartown as easily as one sees Endor, not Redwood National Park.
