Filming the Europeans in New Ipswich

Image
The Europeans is a 1979 British Merchant Ivory Film , directed by James Ivory Several scenes were filmed at Barrett House and Bullard-Barr House in New Ipswich, NH Robin Ellis and Lee Remick filming a shot around the Central Cemetery Film crew The film crew complained about the sound of my camera shutter. I replied the chain saw in the distance was much louder. I was not going to pass up an opportunity like this. It was fairly cold when they filmed this. Apparently Lee Remick had a hot water bottle. I took the opportunity to meet Robin Ellis since at the time I was huge fan of the BBC series Poldark
