New Orleans Goes to the Movies: Film Sites in the French Quarter and Beyond

Elvis Presley invites us to his world of King Creole, Ingrid Bergman strolls with us through the French Market in Saratoga Trunk, and Blanche DuBois takes us for a ride on the Streetcar Named Desire. Twenty classic films set in New Orleans and at least partly shot there are discussed by author and movie buff Alan Leonhard. Written with a passion for the films and their New Orleans connection by Leonhard, the book is also beautifully illustrated with pen and ink drawings. Includes guided tours through the French Quarter and on the St. Charles streetcar to see actual filming locations and a list of all movies set in New Orleans. Bibliography and index make this book a great reference work.
