Score by Michel Legrand and Boston locations

To me the best things about this movie are the Boston locations (a lot of these look very different now) and the great score by Legrand. "The Windmills of Your Mind" is a great song (music by Legrand, lyrics by Bergman). Noel Harrison wasn't the greatest singer, but he puts it across ok.

Shot of McQueen & Dunaway on the set for the steam room scene:

There aren't many recognizable Boston locations. It's mostly the Beacon Hill section (his home)which is a densely populated upscale residential 'hood.
I really don't remember any others: maybe those parts of the film weren't shot in Boston?
