"The House In Sea Cliff" was put out by the U.S. State Department offering Sea Cliff up as the all American village. All of the people in the film are actual residents of Sea Cliff, New York and not actors.
I grew up there off of circle way. 1 square mile no stop lights and a booth for a police station. You didnt lock your doors and you left the keys in the ignition. Longos Bar and grill (Moms) owned by the Longos who lived had a house behind the bar. Ernie, guy and Chris? super nice family. My grandfather Roy Day would go there at night and sat at the bar drinking Reingold "the one beer to have when you are having more than one" (slogan) while I say at the bar having a squirt and chips. I was 4 years old! All patrons that went there were the Fireman the mailman (actually Meat the mailman was our mailman) The Hippies would hang out at the veteran park and the end of the block and "smoke" Truly a magical town and amazing time time to grow up its was as close as you could get to Mayberry MD that you could ever get. Went there like 10 years new owners, new hip crowd and some young girl bartending. I felt like what are these people doing in my old hangout! Told her the short version of the history of the bar "She said "Oh really" and walked away. Ahhhhh like they say "You can never go back" .. so true! I hope someone from this era sees this and comments!
