This movie adaptation of David Baldacciís novel was
fatally tailored to fit director/star Eastwoodís
needs by veteran screenwriter William Goldman.
Set in Washington
DC, much of the movie was actually shot in Baltimore,
Maryland.
Elder statesman EG
Marshallís mansion, where the veteran housebreaker
Eastwood
sees the special agents protect sleazy Pres Hackman
by blowing away his mistress, is the Maryvale
School for Girls, 11300 Falls Road, Brooklandville,
north of Baltimore.
The art gallery where Eastwood is confronted by good
FBI man Ed Harris
is real DC. Itís the Corcoran
Gallery of Art, 500
17th Street at New York Avenue NW (tel: 202.639.1700),
just south of the White House.
Another genuine DC location is the hotel where Eastwood
delivers a stolen necklace to the devious Chief of Staff
Judy Davis.
Cheekily, this is the Watergate
Hotel, 2650 Virginia
Avenue NW. And
yes, this is part of the same complex housing the burgled
Democratic offices (at number 2600).
