Judging from what we can see of the side of the front label in this image, I'd guess it's actually Wild Turkey. Back then you didn't see near as many varieties of stuff. It also wasn't considered especially high-end at the time, either.

I'll hazard a guess that this is a fake Hollywood label. I googled "Wild Turkey Bourbon" images and studied the logos of the various bottles (Wild Turkey makes a number of different age/ proof bourbons). The font and label don't really look like anything I was able to pull up, although I don't know whether their logo and labels was formatted differently 40 years ago (I mean the other day!).

I now have a big question - how many bedrooms does this house really have? Because if it had only one, then it's maybe just some 50 houses we need to look at in the filtered county data map in target areas. So I reconstructed the floorplan... I am 99% confident in my reconstruction outside of the yellow cloud in the diagram below. Yellow cloud is where some incosistencies lie: I'm pretty sure that the bedroom has only two windows (at its head and next to the porch door). But the exterior shot clearly shows two windows close to each other on the right side (top in the diagram) of the house. So there must be another room, but I can't figure out the access to it unless it's a really odd floorplan with the master bedroom being a go-through zone leading to more of the house! The bathroom door and stuff on the wall to the left of it don't match. In bedroom scenes what I assume is the bathroom door is dark, in the bathroom scene it's light color with a whale figure on it. A strong assumption we can make is that they filmed the bathroom scene in another place. Is that unusual for production or is that plausible? The brown door must be the bathroom, it just makes sense for the master bedroom to have access to the only bathroom. The living room has some weird space - a closet with a window to outside. It's not good for my overall floorplan guesstimate If there are two bedrooms, why does Malcolm sleep on the couch after their argument whereas he could sleep more comfortably on the other bed? Granted, the second bedroom is not always set up as an actual bedroom. What's also interesting is that Malcolm invariably enters the home through the side door behind the car port. What's up with the front door? In fact they don't seem to have a proper front door, only the porch, which has a door on its side anyway (though the porch might have another door on the opposite side we can't see). What's up with the other side door they barricaded by a tripod? If you have time to follow my reconstruction, here are all the Malcolm house scenes in the movie, with my notes. 13:23 - 14:20 (love making scene) good view of the bedroom and the porch through the open door 15:52 - 17:44 (the shower scene) the key exterior shot of the full house plus the shower scene where we catch outside of the bathroom's window, and see another window through the bathroom door 30:06 - 32:01 (coming from the bar) nighttime car approach scene, a clear bedroom shot with a view into the living room and a window reflection in the mirror 36:01 - 40:26 (villain calling Malcolm), some living room shots including both their desks and the sliding doors behind Malcolm 45:53 - 47:41 (villain calling Malcolm), great living room shots, with the blocked door, and tying a lot together. Note that when Malcolm is coming from the shower, he's walking from the bedroom (a clue that the brown door is the bathroom) 50:49 - 51:45 (villain calling Malcolm) good bedroom and living room shots 53:23 - 56:31 (mailman attack) car port shots, the house across the road, great living room and kitchen shots tying a lot of dimensions together 74:11 - 75:02 (with the detective waiting for a call) great living room shots 91:40 - 98:44 (fight with villain) additional night road shot, a porch shot, a lot of living room, most importantly the view of the weird closet space with a window in it!

Can't wait to see this one! -J
