The 1998 thriller A Perfect Murder -- starring Michael Douglas, Viggo Mortensen and Gwyneth Paltrow -- is a sleek, suspenseful reimagining of Alfred Hitchcock’s Dial M For Murder. While much of the film is set in Manhattan’s upscale interiors, one of its most memorable and atmospheric locations was filmed on Long Island.
The production used Salutation House on West Island in Glen Cove, a secluded and grand estate believed to be the real-life location of the fictional Bradford mansion. This waterfront mansion lent an air of quiet luxury and isolation that perfectly matched the film’s themes of deception and betrayal.
