If anyone wants to get a sense of what the Johnstown area was like as the decline began--but before the total implosion of its industrial economy--the 1983 Tom Cruise teen football movie "All the Right Moves" was filmed on location there. The cinematography is the best part of an otherwise lame movie--but again, it's interesting because that world is now gone. The factories and even the high school featured have since been torn down.
