I watched the noir-ish film "Sudden Fear" for the first time a few nights ago. I thought it would be campy (being that Joan Crawford was already in her late 40s when she did this film but whose character, I assume, was supposed to be younger), but it was actually a well-done movie, I thought. Jack Palance was great in his role, too, as was Gloria Grahame (Crawford and Palance both received Oscar nominations for this film; the film was also nominated for its cinematography and costume design). Anyway, the film takes place in San Francisco, and there are numerous outdoor shots where it's obvious they're in San Francisco, but the climactic scenes toward the end of the film look like they were actually shot on Bunker Hill. I've already returned the DVD to Netflix, otherwise I'd try to look at those scenes more carefully, but can anyone confirm this?
