Film has always had the power to momentarily transfer us to scenes around the world. As we stay home to flatten the curve together, don't forget to look for scenes of Newport on your screen. Take a look at the following movies filmed in and around Newport.
C.K. Dexter-Haven, a successful popular jazz musician, lives in a mansion near his ex-wife's Tracy Lord's family estate. She is on the verge of marrying a man blander and safer than Dex, who tries to win Tracy's heart again. Mike Connor, an undercover tabloid reporter, also falls for Tracy while covering the nuptials for the fictional Spy Magazine. Tracy must choose between the three men as she discovers that "safe" can mean "deadly dull" when it comes to husbands and life.

Fun-fact: The opening of the film, Louis Armstrong is singing with his band on his way to a Jazz festival—you know the scene—it turns out that festival and song is a nod to our very own Newport Jazz Festival.
