Scott Jordan Harris is a culture critic for the Daily Telegraph, a contributor to the BBC's The Film Programme and a UK correspondent for Roger Ebert. He is the author of several books, most recently, World Film Locations: Chicago, also published by Intellect.
'As well as brief, illustrated pieces on the films and locations,
each usefully plotted on a map, there are seven longer essays on
themes such as queer culture, noir, and Alfred Hitchcock's San
Francisco. A great guide to the celluloid city.'
*PD Smith, The Guardian*
'Scott Jordan Harris's book made me fall even deeper in love with
both movies and San Francisco. When I first arrived in The Bay Area
I saw every inch as a movie location, and that has never changed.
The city infects you with a cinematographers eye, shooting
imaginary movies with a magnificent back drop up on every corner
and hill top. Thankfully, Harris has provided us with a marvelous
guided tour of the inspiration many masters and lesser-known
film-makers minded from Fog City, taking our journey forward with a
thoughtful analysis of the past.'
*Ted Hope, Executive Director, San Francisco Film Society*
