Isn't _Holiday Inn_, the Bing Crosby film that first gave "White
Christmas" to the nation set in Lake Placid?

_Cold River_ is based on young adult book about a murder and survival
experience in the central Adirondacks in the dead of winter.

Don't forget _An American Tragedy_.  Dreiser's novel is based on an actual
murder that occurred on Thirteenth Lake in Warren County and was made into
at least one movie (or are there two?).

There are other Adirondack-based films.  Memory fails me for now, but you
could give a call to either Caroline Welsh or Hallie Bond, both Curators
at the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake.  I'll bet they both could
come up with quite a few further titles.
