Notes on Individual Scenes

Ginger in the Morning (1974)

There are some nice road shots in this movie, but the places are unfamiliar to me. One clear location is on the road past the big mesa near San Ildefonso: (35.885346°, -106.106661°). Another clear location is the Albuquerque Sunport. There are other locations that are almost clear, like Santa Fe Plaza and the La Fonda Hotel, but these were nighttime shots, and I can't say that with confidence. Santa Fe Airport parking lot and the Ski Basin are other locations that are nearly clear. The chief location is probably Four Seasons Resort - Rancho Encantado - Santa Fe, but I can't say that with confidence.
