Product Description
Book Description
Many movies are synonymous with the locations where they were filmed. On Location is a lighthearted, round-the-world tour of famous movies so you, too, can go "on location." Exact addresses, review-style essays and city maps take you there, whether on a Harry Potter tour of London, a Breakfast at Tiffany’s trip to New York, or a jaunt to the Rome nightclub where Matt Damon and Jude Law partied in The Talented Mr. Ripley. This richly illustrated volume with a foreword by director Wim Wenders presents 18 cities and their world-famous films: from Los Angeles to Paris, Beijing, Sydney, Prague, Berlin and much more. A peek behind the scenes of numerous famous locations.

Fun mix of travel and film
11 Oct 2007
Format:Hardcover
I stumbled across this book in the film and TV section of a Barnes & Noble - what a wonderful idea! I can really recommend this book for anyone who loves the movies and wants to know where famous scenes were filmed. I always liked the idea of mixing travel and film, and that is what this book does.
Basically it takes a look at big world cities and tells you which films "belong" to them. Harry Potter is really well covered in the London chapter. One of my favorites is the New York City chapter, because I love "When Harry Met Sally" and found out exactly where they filmed the famous orgasm scene. The Rome chapter was wonderful, too, especially for fans of Roman Holiday - even the exact address of the apartment where the two stars spend that first scandalous night was listed. Then there's Tokyo, and Prague, and Beijing, and it just goes on. The maps are useful, the photos are really stunning, and I found the texts fun and easy to read.
