The Seventh Day is interesting only if you have a fondness for old wooden boats, New Harbor and John's Bay. Or if you like stories involving local folks getting mixed up in the shenanigans of rich people from away who have questionable morals and a fondness for captain's hats. But what I found really interesting about the movie was local scenery, including the fort, the lighthouse and particularly the house in the movie at about 7:45 in.
This is the same house that Becky Brown and I have just listed in New Harbor at 8 Monument Lane. There have been some changes to the house since the 1922 movie but it is easily recognized as the same home. From the trim details above the windows to the stained glass window pattern in the double front door and the decorative moldings on the porch, much of the exterior has stayed the same. I have to admit that I have not watched all 6 of the 12 minute clips of the movie but I am working on it. The house also appears in the third clip a couple of times and because it is such a nice backdrop I am certain in the last 3 reels as well.
