Quick Summary:

In the rural-as-heck town of Gutterbee, ex-con Mike Dankworth McCoid (Antony Starr) and German orphan Edward Hofler (Ewen Bremner) dream of opening their own sausage house. Gutterbee’s local cabaret host and self-appointed spokesperson Jimmy Jerry Lee Jones Jr. (W. Earl Brown) intends to prevent the establishment's existence, lest invaders soil the area’s reputation. Mike and Edward march onward in the face of prejudice, winning over townsfolk with their juicy meats while Jimmy does his best to deter the duo’s motivations. A tale as old as national traumas, one that encapsulates America’s crustiest defenders and the harm their hatred causes.

This is a strange and interesting movie about the strange characters found in American rural towns - far stranger than what you find in cities. Roy, NM, in northeast NM, plays the town of Gutterbee.

Notes on Individual Scenes

-----------------------------

Various Gutterbee scenes (Harding Co. General Store; Floersheim Mercantile Co.) are on Richelieu St. (NM Highway 39), such as intersections of 2nd & Richelieu and 3rd & Richelieu. 

The only Albuquerque scene appears to be the former Westside Jail, where Mike goes free. 

Jimmy and the Lords Joyful Hall of Music is about 420 Richelieu St. 

Edward's German Restaurant appears to have been specially-built for the purpose. Location is about: (35.941890°, -104.197130°). 

Bar is at 4th & Richelieu. Sheriff Dept. is at 3rd St. (NM Highway 120) and McKinley St. Church is on 2nd St. 

Edward's speech is 3rd & Richelieu. 

Two Sausage Standoff is at 2nd St. & Champlain St. 

Initial cemetery scene may be the Roy cemetery. I'm thinking the final cemetery scene is actually at Wagon Mound Cemetery - needs to be confirmed.
