Catch Me If You Can is a 2002 American biographical crime film directed and produced by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by Jeff Nathanson. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, with Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen and Nathalie Baye in supporting roles. The film is based on the life of Frank Abagnale, who, before his 19th birthday, successfully performed cons worth millions of dollars by posing as a Pan American World Airways pilot, a Georgia doctor and a Louisiana parish prosecutor. His foremost crime was check fraud; he became so highly skilled that the FBI later turned to him for help catching other check forgers.
Filming was scheduled to begin in January 2002, but was pushed to February 7 in Los Angeles, California. Locations included Burbank, Downey, New York City, LA/Ontario International Airport (which doubled for Miami International Airport), Quebec City and Montreal. The film was shot in 147 locations in only 52 days. DiCaprio reflected, "Scenes that we thought would take three days took an afternoon." Filming ran from April 25-30 on Park Avenue, just outside the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Production moved to Orange, New Jersey and returned to Brooklyn for bank and courthouse scenes. Shooting also took place at the TWA Flight Center at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Quebec City was chosen for its European character and French feel. Place Royale, within Old Quebec, stands in for Montrichard, and the church in the background of the arrest scene is Notre-Dame-des-Victoires. Filming ended on May 12 in Montreal.

Relaxed dude on the bench 👁👄👁 These locations are something else. Old world Europe right here, love it! Great job man

Quebec is so beautiful. It does remind me of French towns. I just assumed it was Paris in the movie. My dad really liked that movie too.

[@elizabethsulliman]

@@TheAbandonedTheater I meant France. When I went to France...

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

I bet your father liked it! Probably could relate to the Hanks character somewhat? How are you Elizabeth? It’s been a while! Hope everything is well and please say hello to your sister!

[@elizabethsulliman]

@@SCOTTONTAPE exactly. he loved Tom Hanks movies. But this character, he could definitely relate to. I'm doing ok. I keep missing the lives since I'm not sure what days they are on. I felt bad. And then when I'm on, i am just as quiet as i am always. Someone said, I was rude or snooty(?) as if I am better than them. But I'm just a quiet person.

[@krisfrederick5001]

If Tom Hanks hadn't have been in so many amazing movies I'd stop forgetting about this one. Thanks for taking us on the walkabout, beautiful city I love it.

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Right? The guy is awesome. My favourite is Castaway.

Awesome videos Scott. I’m from Montreal so these videos are awesome

What a wonderful place this is, so quaint and very inviting .. I absolutely adore Tom Hanks, my favourite actor of all time.. if he made a movie about watching paint dry, I would watch it. He's incredible 😍😍😍😍 Thanks Scott for doing this, it was super ~Karin~ 😁

[@shelleyUSATX]

Such an accent Tom had to do...Love him. I tell my husband I'd leave him for Tom.lol Gorgeous place.

[@bjornemccomb8262]

Wow so beautiful! I’d know that town square area without even the parts of the film you inserted! I’ve watched that film 100x I swear. I’m a HUGE Leonardo fan and would love to visit this area sometime, I’ve been to France and was shocked it was filmed in Quebec, but for good reason 😍

[@nicoleblouin7335]

I was born in Quebec city and Lived there for 22 years until I moved to Montreal. HUge hockey Nordique fan. Thanks you for sharing this, Its been a while since I went back to my City. I have another film location for you and from Quebec city. It's an Alfred Hitchcock film, 1953 ¨ I CONFESS¨ in black in white. There is a plaque at The Chateau Frontenac concerning the filming of that movie. If you read your History, The First Quebec Conference, codenamed "QUADRANT", was a highly secret military conference held during World War II by the governments of the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. It took place in Quebec City on August 17-24, 1943. JF the film buff en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Quebec_Conference

[@edward1081]

Quebec is a very beautiful city to bad they don't have a hockey team I miss the nordics

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

I miss them too. They leave the province for Colorado then end up winning the cup there. Sucks!

[@edward1081]

Yes indeed maybe they can get a expansion team

[@bobettejennett8085]

Catch me if you can was a good movie. Quebec is very pretty.
