Summary

From the camp horror classicThe Creature from the Black LagoontoScarface, many films have indelible connections to Florida. This guide to Florida cinema and locations reveals that the Sunshine State has been an integral part not only of Americars"s film history but also of its cultural history. Doll and Morrow group more than 80 films shot in Florida by theme, covering each movie with a plot synopsis, cast and credits list, and a discussion of the filmrs"s importance. They feature behind-the-scenes views of the making of each film, analyze each filmrs"s connection with its Florida locale, and offer an abundance of details and revelations about the filmmakers and stars. Each chapter concludes with a Movie Tourist's Guide to sites connected to the films that can be visited by the public. Movie fans will learn how the makers ofTrue Liesbrought stunning realism to the famed bridge sequence. Cinema scholars will appreciate the authorsrs" attention to forgotten films and little-known pioneers from the silent era. Movie tourists will want to venture to famous locations, such as those in South Beach, where scenes fromScarfaceandThe Birdcagewere filmed.
