Movie about Cushing, OK
1981 A made-for-television movie set in Cushing, OK, in 1952. "The Long Summer of George Adams" starring James Garner and Joann Hackett. The movie centers around the water tower in the town of Cushing, Oklahoma about 1950 and the fact that it no longer had water in it. The city council of Cushing voted to have water piped in from a nearby town. James Garner plays a railroad man who loses his job, due to the end of steam. One funny part of the movie is where a guy climbs up the water tower and looks out, and says, "I can see all the way to McAlester, Oklahoma." Credit

was never a hotel.


The Cushing Hotel sign was put on the building when the movie "The Long Summer of George Adams" was filmed there in 1981. The movie was about a town called "Cushing, Oklahoma" and that is the reason for the sign.
