"Evening" Clip #7

Yesterday , I was driving around Newport , Rhode Island with my old friend Dave who lived among " high class " mansions in Glencoe, Illinois when he was a kid . On scenic Ocean Drive I spotted a romantic looking mansion location on a cliff and emailed a phone camera photo to my artist brother Steve. It delighted him . He emailed back to me : "Re: Newport today - so scenic! ' Beautiful photos Ron! Glad you’re getting out. I believe that the magnificent mansion and the grounds you captured— set high up on the rocky shoreline, was the building and the setting for the 2007 film “Evening” starring Vanessa Redgrave and Meryl Streep. It was a wonderful film.
