Passamaquoddy Bay - Film References

Film References

Walt Disney Productions' 1977 musical film Pete's Dragon starring Helen Reddy and Mickey Rooney takes place in the fictional town of "Passamaquoddy". The film does not state whether the fictional town is situated on the Maine side or the New Brunswick side. Fictional elements such as the Boathouse suggest the Canadian side, while descriptions of shoreline caves suggest the American side. For several years after the film was released, both Maine and New Brunswick tourist trades featured short tours of purported locations. As the years wore on, many barely related locales made their way onto the tours.

    [Film noir] experiences periodic rebirth and rediscovery. Whenever we have any moment of deep societal rift or disruption in America, one of the ways we can express it is through the ideas and behavior in film noir.
