Movie Trivia … Clairton, PA is supposed to be the setting for the home town scenes in The Deer Hunter — though most of those scenes were actually filmed nearby in Ohio (Steubenville and Mingo Junction) and West Virginia (Weirton).

Not a fan of DeNiro anymore but I saw the movie when it first came out and felt the cast did a great job of portraying what life was like in Clariton and the surrounding townships and boroughs during the Vietnam war, even though the scenes weren't filmed there.
