Annap---The NO EXIT COFFEEHOUSE is in Chicago---far North side o' town---6970 N. Glenwood. When I began singing there in 1960 it was in Evanston, IL--the first suburb N of Chicago. They've had 4 sets of owners over the years in 3 locations.

Shambles---Yes, there should've been more music as well as more of the No Exit. We only got a glimpse of the coffeehouse--and one quick shot outside of it. And it was Mad. Stowe as a blind girl who, while recovering from surgery to bring her eyesight back, "witnessed" a murder through the fog of recovery. Some good shots of Chicago in the film too. But too little music.

Another great soundtrack album is __PAPER MOON__---all old 78s---Blue Sky Boys, Hoagy Carmichale-all depression era gems.
