Michael Cimino’s classic film “The Deer Hunter” is primarily remembered for it’s harrowing scenes set in the Vietnam War (which were actually shot in Thailand). However, the first half of the film is set in a blue-collar town in Pennsylvania. The town was comprised of quite a few different locations. For example, the deer hunting scenes were shot at Mount Baker, Washington.
The wedding of Steven and Angela was shot at the Theodosius Russian Orthodox Cathedral, which is actually located in Cleveland, Ohio. The building considered to be one of the finest examples of Russian architecture in the United States. The same location briefly appears in the film “American Splendor.”
