So, I’m fairly sure that no one has mentioned on PDD before that the 2011 movie The Big Year, which screened locally at Zinema 2, has a brief reference to Duluth. (Laura Erickson did mention it on her birding blog, though.)

The shot above is followed by a restaurant scene that is supposed to be in Duluth but is obviously not.

The odd thing about this is it’s at least the third movie featuring Brian Dennehy that references Duluth (Trumbo and Category 6: Day of Destruction being two others).

Mark Ryan, if you’re out there, it might be time to update the ol’ “Return to Duluth” video.
