Celluloid Skyline by James Sanders PDF Summary

Book Description: A tale of two cities -- both called "New York." The first is a real city, an urban agglomeration of millions. The second is a mythic city, so rich in memory and association and sense of place that to people everywhere it has come to "seem real: the New York of such films such as "42nd Street, "Rear Window, "King Kong, "Dead End, "The Naked City, "Ghostbusters, "Annie Hall, "Taxi Driver, and" Do the Right Thing -- a magical city of the imagination that is as complex, dynamic, and familiar as its namesake of stone and steel. As James Sanders shows in this deeply original work, the dream city of the movies -- created by more than a century of films, from the very dawn of the medium itself -- may hold the secret to the allure and excitement of the actual place. Here are the cocktail parties and power lunches, the subway chases and opening nights, the playground rumbles and rooftop romances. Here is an invented Gotham, a place designed specifically for action, drama, and adventure, a city of bright avenues and mysterious side streets, of soaring towers and intimate corners, where remarkable people do exciting, amusing, romantic, scary things. Sanders takes us from the tenement to the penthouse, from New York to Hollywood and back again, from 1896 to the present, all the while showing how the real and mythic cities reflected, changed, and taught each other. Lavishly illustrated with scores of rare and unusual production images culled from Sanders's decade-long research in studio archives and private collections around the country, "Celluloid Skyline offers a new way to see not only America's greatest metropolis, but cities the world over.
