One hundred years of New York films
The continuous centenary celebration of this magazine included a cinematic component: a series in the Film Forum,Tales from New Yorker“That has appeared connected films New Yorker Date, whether due to the publication of source materials here or because the shareholders in the magazine participated in the films concerned. But the series left an important aspect of New Yorker The unrestricted identity-where the current centenary is focused on New York, this list of some favorite films that focus on New York is a wreath in a timely manner.
Ten is a suitable number to celebrate the centenary, and I have chosen one movie for each contract since the foundation of the magazine – from 1925 to 1934, and so on. But I could double the list or multiply three times with a little effort, so a variety of films around the city’s life; Moreover, some of my favorite films in New York (such as “” Unmarried Woman “) are not available for broadcasting. I have intentionally avoided modern classics that are immediately linked to the city, whether by Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee, James Gray, or Woody Allen, and these familiar titles were crossed, no matter how cheerful, “Saturday night fever” and “apartment”. Instead, I chose the drama filmed on the site with excited details; Comedy was placed in New York in New York, which was only present in movies; One documentary film deepening in private life and general activity in one neighborhood; The other corresponds to the city’s views with the story of the director’s family. Many of the New York’s favorite films – not literally, are not filmed – but, instead, reproducing some of them in the studio. They capture mental states in New York, from which there is much more than the population. New York is a world of imagination, legend, obsession, resentment, fear and confusion for many who have never presented it; Many of those who live here also open and democratize some fictional city copies.
Although this is the only type that exists: everyone has New York, even the people who do not call it home. (Like the cinema itself, New Yorker It also developed permanent visions or releases in New York, whether in imagination or in reporting.) For this reason it is difficult to choose my favorite New York films: on the one hand, many good things have been made around, but on the other hand, none of them got completely right – which he says that he had never been thrown at the city exactly as I imagined and tried it. (I bet that every New Yorker feels the same way.) But many films, such as the works of many writers, have expanded my point of view and deepened my understanding of them. This is only a few of them.
1925-1934: “Me and My Gal” (1932, Raoul Walsh)

New York is said, all of which are a quick and smart conversation in the streets, and the chill-born here in 1887, I grew up in comfort, and Denizen-on the will from the hard side-both in this vibrant story from the innovative birth (Joan Bennett in the Manger the Magner the Magner the Magner the Magner The Magner Amister The Magner Amide the Magner Amider The Magner Amider the Magner Amider The Magner.
It turns out that there is a lot of romantic humor and romantic humor between the luxurious Park Avenue collection as on the waterfront – at least according to Lubitsch. “This uncertain feeling”, which calls his story with exciting confessions under the view of the psychological investigation, centered on the young wife (Merl Opening) from an executive director of insurance (Melvin Douglas) paid by all work habits, to the peak rival arms (Borgis Meridotith). Music is the satire of walking from the assumptions in the city center – and his fierce thinking shows that all businesses as well. Under the mockery of both companies and high extinction, Lubitsch finds an equal well of unbearable desires.

Although this sweet love story, which was placed in the New York sites in New York, was filmed in a studio, it is something like New York because, like the Italian sperm movement, the essence of the Mennelli movie is the war. Romantic comedy, exquisite romance between a soldier on vacation for forty -eight hours (Robert Walker) and a single young secretary (Judy Garland) corresponds to the title of the title. Immediately after their meeting, the couple precedes marriage, and in this process, she faced a variety of people, neighborhoods and problems, all of which consist of major paintings from the city’s, internal and external settings-even as a soldier who restores himself to the dangers of fighting.
1955-64: “The Mis wrong man” (1956, Alfred Hitchcock)
Leave it to Hitchcock, one of the most accomplished cinema, to approach the story of real crime with fanatic interest in realistic details. In the movie “The Ored Man”, which was filmed on the site throughout the city, Henry Fonda plays the role of the night club guitarist who lives in a humble house in Queens with his wife (Vera Miles) and his young children. When he stopped by a recently stolen local insurance office, he made a mistake in the perpetrator of the perpetrator – and he was quickly arrested. Hitchcock, whose life has expressed fear of the police, shows terrifying mechanisms for the so -called justice system that breaks the man and his family even while he was acquitted. In this process, it calls for questioning, religiously religiously, the idea of innocence. It is a shockingly shocking Hitchcock movie and one of its most personal works.
