| Summary, etc.: | The book takes the reader on a cinematic road trip through Hollywood history and Connecticut geography. Illeana Douglas, an actor and film historian from Connecticut, defines how the perception of on-screen Connecticut has shifted more than that of any other New England state over the decades and provides some surprising conclusions about just what it means to be a "Connecticut movie." Filled with behind-the-scenes stories as well as her own personal snapshots of the places where these films were made |
