It’s a wonderful town. It’s also an important, sometimes even a crucial, setting in many films. So integral to the film is this setting that it can become almost a character within the movie, giving new meaning to the narrative. In recent years, many films purporting to have New York locations, have been shot elsewhere, with key scenes of NY exteriors actually shot in just a few days. Having worked on two such films, one with Richard Burton, I will share my location experiences as we observe key scenes in these movies. Suggested titles include: On The Town & Sweet Smell Of Success.
