Only attentive Hobokenites will catch the fast-and-loose switches made between Saints Peter and Paul Church (400 Hudson Street) and Our Lady of Grace Church (400 Willow Avenue). There are two scenes inside Saints Peter and Paul. The first, Father Barry's meeting with a handful of longshoremen, takes place in what was, until 1980, the lower church. (It was then converted into a kindergarten, and later converted into a general-purpose meeting room.) The priest's attempt to get the men to tell what they know about Joey's death and about the corruption in their union is interrupted by Friendly's mugs, who threateningly bang their truncheons on the ground in the alley between the church and the rectory. As most of the longshoremen escape through a door in the rear of the building on its north side, the thugs catch Dugan and beat him mercilessly. The scene is filmed through an iron gate that once separated the back of the church property -- church, rectory, convent, and school -- from Court Street. The part of the gate closest to the church is still in place. Terry, attending the meeting on Friendly's orders, rescues Edie from the melee by escorting her up a flight of stairs in the church, and then, thanks to the miracle of cinema, down a fire escape on the rear of the old Saints Peter and Paul School, two buildings away. (Terry appears to know his way around the church property more than we might expect, but, then again, he does mention at one point that he went to parochial school.) In the second, much briefer scene inside Saints Peter and Paul, this time in the upper church, Father refuses to talk to Terry.
