I believe that Vincente Minnelli, in 1959, took Madison, Indiana - that he had seen on the documentary of Joseph Von Sternberg -, as a starting point to design the town of Parkman (imagined by writer James Jones) in his film “Some came running” which he turned with Franck Sinatra, Dean Martin and Shirley McLaine. Didn’t he ? Best regards. John R. Schmit (I’m French and I don’t speak very good English, sorry). Hello !
