I have still not seen SHUT, but it is interesting--maybe--to note that Glen Cove, LINY is explicitly identified in NORTH BY NORTHWEST as the site of a police station where Roger O. Thornhill has trouble proving he's sober. Sargent Emile Klinger works in Glen Cove--perhaps lives there. It's a charming little courtroom attached to the station. The residence of Lester Townsend, however--and I think this is what people are having in mind as a reflection of the orgy site--is not localized at all. Anyone who knows Long Island, especially Nassau County, can verify that there is to be found there a copious supply of towns and townlets, quite near one another, and from a careful reading of NbyNW it really is not possible to say that the house with the nefarious gardener *really is* in Glen Cove. To make matters a tad worse, the topography around the house, through which Roger drive on a seacoast road, really is hard to believe as being near Glen Cove.
