Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Chicago

T.R. Baskin is a 1971 American romantic drama film directed by Herbert Ross, written and produced by Peter Hyams, and starring Candice Bergen, Peter Boyle, Marcia Rodd and James Caan.

Production

The film was shot in various locations around Chicago, including the Carson Pirie Scott department store, the Sherman House Hotel, the First National Bank Building, and O'Connell's Coffee Shop on Rush Street.

Herbert Ross later stated, "I made a terrible mistake on T.R. Baskin. I was fooled by the script. I discovered in working on the script that it was like quicksand: the harder we worked, the more we investigated, the more damage we did. So after a while we were just trying to mask the flaws. It was a very salutary experience, because it helped me to learn how to evaluate a script."
