Cinema Southwest: An Illustrated Guide to the Movies and Their Locations

Rating:
Summary: A good book on movie locations but
Review: I hope nobody wasted any time trying to match up the Gunga Din picture on page 74 to the sand dunes of the lower Colorado River. It was filmed mostly in Lone Pine, California. That scene of British gatling gunners was filmed just off Whitney Portal Road.

Summary: A Work of Love
Review: The author John A. Murray really wrote a work of love on movies and their southwest location (California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas). From such diverse films such as High Plains Drifter; Leaving Las Vegas; Sergeant Rutledge; Thelma & Louise; Jerimah Johnson; Easy Rider; and Tender Mercies. If you travel through parts of the Southwest (including the mystical ones) then your journey's will be a bit more enjoyable having been to the spot where Clark Cable, Montgomery Clift and Marylin Monroe created the Misfits! My trips have been more interesting! Cheers!
