Boston Summary
High on Boston flavor. The crime took place in Boston so it makes sense the majority of the movie was filmed in the Boston area. The North End was heavily used for scenes including the actual location of the Brink's Job robbery (now a parking lot). Movie contains some great shots of the old elevated T that no longer exists in Boston. Other Boston locations include East Boston (gumball factory), the Suffolk County Courthouse and Charlestown (jail).
