    1. The exterior shots outside Cressner's apartment building (on the street with Ducky, Albert, and Norris) was filmed at the Murchison Building, 201 N Front St, Wilmington, NC. Cressner's apartment interior and the ledge around the building was shot in a film studio (at the De Laurentiis Studios in Wilmington, NC). The ledge featured in the movie was actually only a few feet high from the ground in the studio. For the traffic and buildings far below the ledge, they used models and a filming technique called 'forced-perspective miniatures'. For the night cityscape in the background (seen from Cressner's rooftop terrace) they used a 'translight' which is like a large film projection of Atlantic City. The heroin which was planted in Norris' Mustang was shot in an underground car park (which no longer exists) at the west end of Chestnut St, Wilmington, NC. The underground car park was parallel / adjacent to the south side of the Murchison Building. Just before the ending when Cressner falls to his death (and landing on the brass horn), the brass horn was placed on the sidewalk in between the underground car park and the south side of the Murchison Building, at the junction of N Front St and Chestnut St.
