Set in Sitka, The Proposal Was Shot (Mainly) in Mass.

The romantic comedy “The Proposal,” starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, is set in Sitka. But most of it was shot in Rockport, Massachusetts. In fact, not much in the film comes from the real Sitka. But there are a few home-grown elements – including a Tlingit wedding chant, composed for Betty White’s character by Sitka’s  Edward Littlefield.
