"Journalist and author Ted Reinstein has reported all around New England for 25 years, telling the colorful stories of this historic yet ever-changing corner of America. Now, he condenses his countless travels into a single, unique labor of love: a journey through the heart and soul of New England, meeting the most memorable people--and their unlikely stories--all along the way. People whose struggles, toughness, triumphs, and humor not only define the very essence of New England, but represent the timeless best of America as well. In all six states, in their own words, the stories unfold. From a stalwart surfer on New Hampshire's tiny seacoast, to Maine's "Slim" Andrews and his one-man museum, to the Vermonter who builds extraordinary havens in the trees for those without hope of reaching them. Meet a couple in the Berkshire Hills determined to save a place they were told doesn't exist, and a cartoonist in Rhode Island who found an ingenious way for an entire city to say goodnight to those who need to hear it most. It's a legendary part of America that's often caricatured, but rarely caught with such real-life candor and intimacy. Indeed, the Old Mainer in the tired-old joke was wrong: you can get there from here. And along the way, see New England in a whole new light, through the stories of some everyday Americans you'll never forget"--

Illeana Douglas has long been known for shining new light on forgotten films. Now the celebrated actress and film historian turns her focus to a heretofore unrecognized brand: the Connecticut movie. Told from the passionate perspective of an author who grew up here, Illeana takes the reader on a cinematic road trip through Hollywood history and Connecticut geography, bringing the breezy, intimate, knowledgeable writing style acclaimed by reviewers of her first book, I Blame Dennis Hopper (2015). Illeana defines how the perception of on-screen Connecticut, originally created in Hollywood, has shifted more than that of any other New England state over the decades.Films from Hollywood's Golden Age, such as Theodora Goes Wild, Bringing Up Baby, and Christmas in Connecticut, presented Connecticut as an antidote to the metropolis--a place where you could find your true self. The slogan "Come to Peaceful Connecticut" not only led to Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, but to an exodus of urban moviegoers seeking their dream houses. Gentleman's Agreement, which highlighted social inequity, challenged Connecticut's well-cultivated image, as did the dark suburban malaise of The Swimmer and The Ice Storm. From Sherlock Holmes to Mystic Pizza to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, from horror in The Stepford Wives to historical in Amistad, the Constitution State has been at the heart of nearly two hundred feature films featuring a variety of genres. Illeana's insights provide 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, Connecticut in the Movies is not only a keepsake for denizens of the state, but a valuable resource for film buffs everywhere.
