And there are some heart-stirring shots of quilted green land and shimmering lakes, of whaling boats and silver-spired churches taken on location around Windsor, Old Saybrook, Mystic and Essex. Audiences will also learn about tobacco-possibly more than they care to. Item: those acres of flimsy shade-tobacco tents (which don't quite obscure the dedicated dalliance of Troy and girl at the fadeout) are made of cheesecloth, which filters sunlight and raises the temperature around the plants...
