Cotton fields (in LA - LoL) then?

No cotton.

[Мастер]

How2 far away? Still in the US?

Still in the US. But you'd probably want to take an aeroplane to get from one to the other.

West Coast masquerading as East Coast? Made in the 80s and set in the 60s?

[Arneb]

Atlantic City?

[Мастер]

West Coast masquerading as East Coast?

Most of the film (and in particular, the location where this scene was supposed to be) is not set on the east coast.

Made in the 80s and set in the 60s?

More decades than that.

[Heid the Ba]

I was going to say North Coast as a joke but Great Lakes?

[Мастер]

I was going to say North Coast as a joke but Great Lakes?

The setting (as opposed to the actual shooting location) is quite close to one of the Great Lakes.

[Heid the Ba]

Made before the 80s, set before the 60s, near the Great Lakes. Doesn't help me.

[Мастер]

Made before the 80s,

Correct.

Set before the 60s,

Also correct.

near the Great Lakes.

Correct as well.

Doesn't help me.

Apparently also correct.

Once Upon a Time in America?

[Мастер]

Once Upon a Time in America?

No, although the time span of "Once Upon a Time in America" includes the (relatively short) time span covered by this film.

[Heid the Ba]

Chicago, 1930s, gangsters? 1970s film?

[Lance]

Oh, that one with Johnny Depp?

[Мастер]

Chicago, 1930s, gangsters? 1970s film?

Largely correct. It was not set entirely in Chicago. Certainly some of the characters could be described as gangsters.

[Lance]

Oh, 70s? Probably not Johnny Depp then...

[Мастер]

Oh, 70s? Probably not Johnny Depp then...

If Johnny Depp is in it, he must be an uncredited child somewhere.

[tubeswell]

Did it have Scott Joplin music in it?

[Мастер]

Did it have Scott Joplin music in it?

It does. A fair amount of it, in fact.

[Heid the Ba]

Oh good call tubes.

[Мастер]

Oh good call tubes.

I thought you knew it - you didn't?

[Arneb]

Scott Joplin rings a bell - The Sting?
( I am am giving my guess on the assumption that Heid does know it but is holding back on purpose. He has probably long guessed it)

[Heid the Ba]

No, I didn't know it until tubes mentioned Joplin. My recollection of the film is that it looks like it was all shot on a Hollywood backlot.

[Arneb]

Ah, so if it's a cigar, it goes to tubes.

[Мастер]

That's because it was

Ah, so if it's a cigar, it goes to tubes.

I would be very surprised if tubeswell did not know the answer at the time of his last post.

[Arneb]

Su tubes, what's next
