This movie is very close to home for me. It was filmed in my hometown of Knowlton. Matter of fact, the library in the film is the same place where I got my smallpox vaccination! Remember it like it was yesterday ;) My grandfather was contracted as driver where he would pick up animals used in the film at the airport in Montreal. Good times. Knowlton was not very well known back then but it's a great substitute for small US towns found in the eastern states like Maine (which is only 20 minutes away). My father who was a volunteer fireman in the early 70s worked on the set of "The little girl how lives down the lane" with Jodie Foster. He made rain for the set during the house scene. I was only 6 at the time but I have great stories!!
