Love Field (1992) was shot in eastern North Carolina, in and around the towns of Wilson and Rocky Mount. A vacant textile mill in Wilson served as the film's production facility and studio. The production moved to Richmond, VA, where the streets near the state capital substituted for Dallas, TX, by day, and Washington, D.C. by night. A hanger at the Richmond International Airport was painted to look like Dallas Love Field airport in 1963. More than 100 period automobiles were used during filming.
Although Love Field (1992) was made in 1990, Orion Pictures suffered crippling financial losses and filed for bankruptcy. It was not released until December 1992, in time for Oscar® consideration.
Love Field is the name of an airport and a neighborhood in the northwestern part of Dallas, Texas, USA. The film refers to the airport, where President John F. Kennedy, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, Second Lady Lady Bird Johnson, and their entourage, including Secret Service agents, landed in Air Force One before their tragic motorcade journey.
