'It's A Wonderful Town': NYC in the Movies (Zoom)

For more than 125 years, filmmakers have been drawn to the dynamic vitality of New York City. Its dramatic architecture, its diverse neighborhoods and populations, its universally recognized landmarks, its 24/7 lifestyle, and its 8 million stories have helped make the city a featured player in more than 17,000 movies—including such memorable films as "King Kong," "Naked City," "On the Town," "West Side Story," "Breakfast at Tiffany’s," "Taxi Driver," "Wall Street," and "Do the Right Thing." Illustrated with more than 50 clips, this presentation demonstrates the changing ways New York has been captured on film, and why it still remains a star attraction today. Brian Rose will present this lecture.
