Here's another NYS film (this is a fun thread; I hope others aren't
getting tired of it):

Nobody's Fool, starring Paul Newman, takes place in a down-at-the-heels
Mohawk Valley town. It's based on an excellent novel by Richard Russo, who
has written several other books with the same general locale.  Does anyone
know if he has a particular town in mind?  Amsterdam?

cheers,
