OLEAN, N.Y. (WIVB) - A Southern Tier city turned back the clock about 80 years, and then it was lights, camera, action.

WAR entertainment came to Olean to film parade scenes for a documentary called "Prohibition-- A Historical Epic."

The city has plenty of atmosphere that's just right to recreate a scene from the roaring '20s.

The film's executive producer is Carl Veno, who is from Olean.

Producers hope to have the documentary done by early next year.
