Frances was filmed on Pigeon Hill, up the hill from what was then Bethlehem Steel. I grew up on 21st, and it was filmed on one of the dead-ends. Either 22nd or 23rd Ave. From what I remember, it was Frances Farmer’s house and the production company actually came in and redid it to look good for the movie. At the time, it was a semi-rundown neighborhood. Sketchy memories, but as a kid it was really exciting to have all the movie trucks. We got to meet all the actors and they used locals as extras.
