 The factory shown in the shots from across the river WAS located in  Seymour, Connecticut, on the Naugatuck River and was vacant for  years after operating as a brass and wire plant for over 100 years  and a local landmark. After the movie was shot the plant was  destroyed by arson. The plant could be plainly seen from the local  highway. Now the only thing that remains is the foundation on the  river as the property was turned into local supermarket.
