Description de l'ouvrage :
On September 11, 2001, a major part of Manhattan’s skyline vanished. Before the tragic events of that day, New York has been the object of a love-hate relationship with the rest of the country. Its skyline had set the stage for innumerable motion pictures that showed the city at its most brilliant, as well as its most shadowy. Focusing its examination solely on Manhattan, Scenes in the City traces the growth, history, and myths of this legendary borough through some of the films whose significance it inflected.

À propos de l'auteur :
The Author: David I. Grossvogel is the Goldwin Smith Professor of Comparative Literature and Romance Studies at Cornell University in New York, and the author of many works on modern literature. He has also been a frequent popular culture commentator in articles and books on Ann Landers, TV Guide, mystery fiction, and film. Among the latter, his recently published Didn't You Used to Be Depardieu? is a cultural comparison of France and the United States through Hollywood remakes of French pictures.
