The 2002 film 'Sweet Home Alabama' starred Reese Witherspoon and Patrick Dempsey.
The 2002 film “Sweet Home Alabama” is known for some famous lines – “You can take the girl out of the honky-tonk but you can’t take the honky-tonk out of the girl” – and for its star-studded cast, including Reese Witherspoon, Patrick Dempsey, Candice Bergen, Josh Lucas, Jean Smart and Melanie Lynskey.
It’s also known for being filmed largely in Georgia rather than the titular state. There is one Alabama location seen in the film, however: the picturesque small town of Eufaula was seen in when Witherspoon’s character Melanie is driving back to her hometown. Another pivotal scene, where the young Melanie and young Jake find beach glass known as fulgurite, was filmed on. It is where one of the most famous lines in the film is said.
The film was set in the fictional town of Pigeon Creek, Ala. A side note: Alabama is home to the world’s only Coon Dog Cemetery, but it is located in northwestern Alabama, near Tuscumbia, and not near a beach.Historic Shorter Mansion in Eufaula, Ala., is seen in the sequence of "Sweet Home Alabama" where the character Melanie is driving back to her hometown from New York.
