Lights, camera, action: New York and the silver screen

New York is the archetypal city, with the iconic edifices and a skyline identified by its silhouette alone. In fact, there is little need to wax lyrical about the Big Apple as it was immortalized in movies and television shows for a century – people who have never ventured anywhere near the city think they know the place inside out.

For starters, there was 'The Jazz Singer' if which is a 1927 musical film set in New York was credited as the first feature-length film with synchronized dialogue and, then, heralded the decline of the silent film era.

Then there is the classic King Kong in the famous scene near the end to the giant ape scaling the Empire State Building with a damsel in distress his clutches, only to be shot down by fighter planes. Filmed in a mere two years after the building is complete, King Kong helped put The Empire State Building on the map and help develop a certain amount of mystique about what is to become the tallest building in the world for the next four decades.

There was literally hundreds of movies over the years – from 'Breakfast at Tiffany's',' The Godfather 'and' Taxi Driver 'on' Saturday Night Fever ',' Ghostbusters' and 'Spiderman' – that has helped New York to instill awareness in the world, making it one of the hottest destinations city on earth.

It's not just movies with immortalized most populated city America's though – countless TV shows have brought New York millions of homes around the world too.

'Friends' is one of the most popular and successful sitcoms of all time and although it mainly filmed in Los Angeles, the fact that it is set in New York and used by many famous buildings in the city to show precisely that helped to make it attractive area. Other massively popular TV shows such as' Sex and the City ',' Spin City ',' Ugly Betty 'and' The Cosby Show 'have also been set against the magnificent backdrop of New York City.

New York is the most filmed city in the world and is one of the main draws for 47000000 in many tourists who holiday there each year. Tours of the city's most famous scenes from the big and small screen are immensely popular and why are hotel New York is always in demand.

A long weekend is plenty of time to get to the city's most well known film location and is probably best search for accommodation in or around the Manhattan area. In fact, there are plenty of cheap hotels in New York, although it is wise to book as far ahead as possible to get the best deals.

From King Kong to Sex and the City, New York is the perfect city break for those looking to relive their favorite movies and TV shows.

Jazz Singer (Japan) $59.99 Jazz Singer (Japan)

The Jazz Singer – Widescreen Fullscreen Subtitle $34.99 On the verge of receivership in 1926, Warner Bros. studio decides to risk its future by investing in the Vitaphone sound system. Warners’ first Vitaphone release, Don Juan, was a silent film accompanied by music and sound effects. The studio took the Vitaphone process one step farther in its 1927 adaptation of the Samson Raphaelson Broadway hit The Jazz Singer, incorporating vocal musical numbers in what was essentially a non-talking film. Al Jolson stars as Jakie Rabinowitz, the son of Jewish cantor Warner Oland. Turning his back on family tradition, Jakie transforms himself into cabaret-entertainer Jack Robin. When Jack comes home to visit his parents, he is warmly greeted by his mother (Eugenie Besserer), but is cold-shouldered by his father, who feels that Jack is a traitor to his heritage by singing jazz music. Several subsequent opportunities for a reconciliation are muffed by the stubborn Jack and his equally stubborn father. On the eve of his biggest show-business triumph, Jack receives word that his father is dying. Out of respect, Jack foregoes his opening night to attend Atonement services at the temple and sing the Kol Nidre in his father’s place. Through a superimposed image, we are assured that the spirit of Jack’s father has at long last forgiven his son. Only twenty minutes or so of Jazz Singer is in any way a “talkie;” all of the Vitaphone sequences are built around Jolson’s musical numbers. What thrilled the opening night crowds attending Jazz Singer were not so much the songs themselves but Jolson’s adlibbed comments, notably in the scene where he sings “Blue Skies” to his mother. Previous short-subject experiments with sound had failed because the on-screen talent had come off stilted and unnatural; but when Jolson began chattering away in a naturalistic, conversational fashion, the delighted audiences suddenly realized that talking pictures did indeed have the capacity to entertain. Despite its many shortcomings (the storyline goes beyond mawkish, while Jolson’s acting in the silent scenes is downright amateurish), The Jazz Singer was a box-office success the like of which no one had previously witnessed. The film did turn-away business for months, propelling Warner Bros. from a shoestring operation into Hollywood’s leading film factory. Proof that The Jazz Singer is best viewed within its historical context is provided by the 1953 and 1980 remakes, both interminable wallows in sentimental goo. Worse still, neither one of those films had Al Jolson–who, in spite of his inadequacies as an actor, was inarguably the greatest musical entertainer of his era. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Jazz Singer – Fullscreen $24.99 This second screen adaptation of the Samson Rafaelson play The Jazz Singer is better than the first, though not as historically important (the early Jazz Singer, it will be recalled, sparked the “talkie revolution” way back in 1927). Danny Thomas assumes the old Al Jolson role as the cantor’s son-turned-cabaret entertainer. As Jerry Golding (Thomas) scales the heights of show business, he breaks the heart of his father (Eduard Franz), who’d hoped that Jerry would follow in his footsteps. Sorrowfully, Cantor Golding reads the Kaddish service, indicating that, so far as he is concerned, his son is dead. A tearful reconciliation (and a more upbeat denouement than was found in the original film) occurs when Jerry dutifully returns to sing the “Kol Nidre” in his ailing father’s absence. Peggy Lee co-stars as Judy Lane, a musical comedy entertainer who falls in love with Jerry, while Mildred Dunnock and Alex Gerry do what they can with the stereotyped roles of Jerry’s mother and uncle, respectively. This 1952 Jazz Singer has its faults, but it is vastly superior to the empty-headed 1980 Neil Diamond/Laurence Olivier remake. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Jazz Age - $14.99 Shortly before his death, comedian Fred Allen supplied the dry-witted narration for the Project 20 hour-long documentary special The Jazz Age. Inasmuch as the special aired posthumously, it can be regarded as a fitting epitaph for the talented Allen. Spanning the period from the 1919 Treaty of Versailles to the 1929 stock market crash, the special utilizes documentary footage and clips from dramatic films to recreate the era of “wonderful nonsense.” The viewer is offered a kaleidoscope of landmark events, fads, foibles, and celebrities: the passage of the 18th Amendment, which led to Prohibition, speakeasies, and the rise of the gangster culture; the hero worship bestowed upon baseball legend Babe Ruth and “lone eagle” aviator Charles Lindbergh; public “crazes” like mahjongg and the Charleston; the “return to Normalcy” expounded by President Warren Harding and the “Business of America is Business” philosophy of his successor Calvin Coolidge; and on less frivolous note, the ascendance of the Ku Klux Klan and the disastrous aftereffects of the Florida Land Boom. Throughout the film, the songs of the 1920s are vividly recreated by Robert Russell Bennett, the man who previously orchestrated the music of Richard Rodgers on the classic TV series Victory at Sea. Rebroadcast several times throughout the 1950s and ’60s, The Jazz Age remained in circulation on cable TV well into the 1990s. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

4 Feature Films: Harlem Rides The Range / Moon - $3.99 Includes:Harlem Rides the Range (1939) Moon Over Harlem (1939) The Big Timers (1945) Dirty Gertie from Harlem USA (1946) Harlem Rides the Range Produced in 1938 at the N.B. Murray dude ranch near Victorville, California, Harlem Rides the Range was the last of three all-black Westerns starring troubadour Herb Jeffries (billed for the occasion Herbert Jeffrey) as cowboy Bob Blake. Blake, on his horse “Stardusk” (!), obtains a job on the ranch belonging to Watson (Spencer Williams of Amos ‘n Andy fame). Meanwhile, a neighbor, Dennison (Leonard Christmas), is threatened by Bradley (Clarence Brooks) and his thug Connors (Tom Southern) who want to get their hands of the man’s secret radium mine. Leaving Dennison for dead, Bradley schemes to kidnap his daughter Margaret (Artie Young), who is arriving with $6,000 for the mortgage and presumably knows where the secret mine is located. The talkative Connors is killed by his boss, who puts the blame on Blake. Arrested by the sheriff (Wade Dumas), Blake uses his dexterity to break out of jail and arrives just in time to save Margaret from Bradley and his gang. Returning to the Dennison spread, Blake and his sidekick Dusty (Lucius Brooks) find the owner, who has stayed alive by hiding in his underground mine. Jeffries, whose singing was better than his acting, warbled his own I’m a Happy Cowboy (over the opening credits) and Prairie Flower, the latter accompanied by the singing group The Four Tones. Lucius Brooks and Flournoy E. Miller (who wrote his own dialogue) provided the same kind of demeaning comedy that almost all African-Americans were subjected to in the 1930s. Following his brief movie career, Jeffries sang with the Duke Ellington orchestra and ran a nightclub in Paris, France. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi Moon Over Harlem German immigrant Edgar G. Ulmer directed this melodrama with an all-black cast (including jazz legend Sidney Bechet), and shot the film in just four days. The story concerns a rich widow seduced by a gangster, and the man’s attempts to get her money. ~ John Bush, Rovi The Big Timers A poor singer borrows a fancy apartment in order to impress her fianc? and his family. This musical comedy with an all-black cast features an all-girl band, and there is even a song by famed comedian Stepin Fetchit. It is a prime example of what used to be called “race movies,” films that were made by small, independent companies specifically for black audiences, since many theaters at the time were segregated. ~ Brian Gusse, Rovi Dirty Gertie from Harlem USA Gertie flees New York City, running from an old boyfriend, and finds herself on the island of Trinidad. ~ Rovi

Der Jazz in Deutschland, Teil 1 $74.99 Compilation Producers: Horst H.J. Bergmeier; Rainer E. Lotz.Though jazz was born and bred in American culture, its appeal spread across the globe practically from the beginning, so that eventually many countries had formed their own jazz tradition and lineage. That includes Germany, and jazz flourished there in the 20th century before, during, and after the World War II era. The VOM CAKE WALK installment of DER JAZZ IN DEUTSCHLAND covers the earliest jazz in Germany, reflecting (to an extent) the development of the music in America. This set includes the German counterparts to ragtime, salon music, hot jazz, and early attempts to orchestrate mixtures of jazz, pop, and classical (as did America’s Paul Whiteman).

Jazz Samba $54.99 Personnel: Stan Getz (tenor saxophone); Charlie Byrd (acoustic guitar); Gene Byrd (guitar, bass); Keter Betts (bass); Buddy Deppenschmidt, Bill Reichenbach (drums).Recorded at All Souls Unitarian Church, Washington, D.C. on February 13, 1962. Originally released on Verve (V6-8432). Includes original release liner notes by Dom Cerulli.Personnel: Stan Getz (tenor saxophone); Charlie Byrd (guitar); Gene Byrd (guitar, bass); Keter Betts (bass); Buddy Deppenschmidt, Bill Reichenbach (drums).Producer: Creed Taylor.Reissue producer: Michael Lang.Recorded at Pierce Hall, All Souls Unitarian Church, Washington, D.C. on February 13, 1962. Originally released on Verve (8432). Includes liner notes by John Litweiler and Dom Cerulli.Digitally remastered using 20-bit technology by Suha Gur (Polygram Studios).This is part of the Verve Master Edition series.The album that launched Jobim’s now classic “Desafinado” Jazz Samba was released in 1962, in the early days of America’s bossa nova craze and before the music lost its charm to cliche. Joined by fellow Latin jazz pioneer Charlie Byrd on classical guitar, and a discreet bass and drums team, tenor saxophonist Getz makes light and elegant music out of a collection of catchy bossas and sambas. His virtuosity, bluesy drive and smooth, soft tone make the music cook like bossa jazz rarely has since. There are still enough surprises to make this record more than just a period piece, and it stands as a fine example of Getz’s lyrical genius.

As more and more people embraced jazz, many countries had developed their own jazz traditions and lineage.

Ken Burns Jazz $6.99 Personnel: Ornette Coleman (alto saxophone, percussion); David Measham (conductor); Dewey Redman (tenor saxophone); Freddie Hubbard (trumpet); Don Cherry (pocket trumpet, pocket cornet); Bobby Bradford (cornet); Eric Dolphy (bass clarinet); Walter Norris (piano); Charles Ellerbee, Bern Nix (guitar); Don Payne, Charlie Haden, Scott LaFaro, David Izenzon, Jamaaladeen Tacuma (bass); Ronald Shannon Jackson (drums, percussion); Billy Higgins, Ed Blackwell, Charles Moffett (drums); Bob Burford (percussion); The London Symphony Orchestra.Recorded between 1958 and 1975. Includes liner notes by Francis Davis.Digitally remastered by Kevin Reeves (Universal Mastering Studios-East).This is part of the Columbia/Legacy Ken Burns JAZZ series.Alto saxophonist/composer Ornette Coleman is one of the most controversial and influential figures in jazz history. In the late 1950s, Coleman introduced a radically different style of jazz improvisation less reliant on chord changes, and emphasizing modes, scales, and raw emotion. Some thought he was brilliant (Leonard Bernstein, John Lewis), others thought him a fraud (Miles Davis, Roy Eldridge). Coleman influenced much of the jazz to come (Roscoe Mitchell, John Zorn) as well as music outside jazz (Lou Reed, the Grateful Dead).This set is an excellent overview of the huge body of work that is Coleman’s career. It spans the classic 1959 quartet with Don Cherry and Charlie Haden (“Lonely Woman,” still one of the most affecting jazz tunes ever written), and his ongoing electric Prime Time band (“Theme From a Symphony Variation 2″), which encompassed blues, rock, minimalism, free improvisation, and ethnic music. In between is “First Take,” from the collective improvisation album FREE JAZZ, and a short excerpt from Coleman’s symphonic composition SKIES OF AMERICA played by the London Symphony Orchestra. As this disc draws from several record labels, it’s likely to be the most comprehensive Ornette Coleman audio biography, and is highly recommended to avant-jazz novices.

The Best of RCA $17.99 Sultry, melancholic, lilting, and gorgeous, the music of Cesaria Evora has the power to seduce completely on first listen. Hailing from Cape Verde, Evora is a master of the morna (a sound indigenous to the islands), but is also adept at various styles that synthesize the music of Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. In addition to skimming the highlights from Evora’s studio work, the set also includes previously unreleased bonus tracks, such as her duet with the singer Bonga on Evora’s famous “Sodade.” Longtime fans will likely have the albums from which these tracks are culled, but for the uninitiated THE VERY BEST will provide an excellent and essential introduction.

Jazz Me Blues $17.99 Full performer name: Little Willie Jackson & The Original Honeydrippers.Contains 24 tracks.This is a comprehensive anthology of Jackson’s late-’40s Modern sessions: both sides of six 1947-1948 singles, plus a dozen previously unreleased cuts (including some alternate takes). It’s another in what is apparently a never-ending series of Ace compilations showcasing early Modern artists pivotal to the transition between swing jazz and jump blues, even if they (like Jackson) are virtually forgotten half a century later. Unlike some, perhaps most, of such Modern artists, Jackson might be more accurately classified as a jazz musician than a blues/R&B one. Boogie instrumentals are mixed with vocal outings in the Louis Armstrong/Cab Calloway mold, often favoring jazz and pop songs that, even by 1948, were on the verge of passing out of fashion. Jackson was a pleasantly passable singer with a slightly lower-than-normal register, though no great shakes. The recordings are more notable for the playing of the Honeydrippers, who, of course, are more known for their work on more famous records by Joe Liggins. The best numbers on the disc are those that are the bluesiest and loosest, such as the instrumentals “Jackson’s Boogie” and “Watts Local,” or “The Peanut Vendor” with its Mardi Gras-type rhythms. “Black and Blue” has some (muted) racial commentary in its doleful lyrics about the problems of being black, though these are subtle enough that it can almost be missed on casual hearing, and certainly too subtle to qualify this as an out-and-out protest song. The sound is very good considering the age of the source recordings. ~ Richie Unterberger

At the Jazz Band Ball: Early Hot Jazz, Song and Dance - $14.99 In the mid-1920′s, just as jazz was firmly establishing itself as America’s dominant popular music form, new advancements in motion picture technology allowed sound to be recorded along with moving pictures, and as a fortunate consequence many of the great artists of the first renaissance of jazz were captured by “talking picture” camera. At The Jazz Band Ball: Early Hot Jazz, Song and Dance is a documentary which compiles rare archival footage of a number of legendary artists, including Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington (leading the Cotton Club Orchestra), Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, The Boswell Sisters, The Dorsey Brothers, and many more. This collection also features the only known filmed performances of pioneering blues vocalist Bessie Smith, and the highly influential cornet man Bix Beiderbecke. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Der Jazz in Deutschland, Teil 3 $74.99 Though jazz was born and bred in America, its appeal spread across the globe practically from the beginning, so that many countries had developed their own jazz traditions and lineage. That includes Germany, and jazz flourished there in the 20th century before, during, and after the World War II era. EIN FRISHER WIND reflects jazz in transition. As in America, there was a reaction to polished Swing era sounds; so entered the neo-traditionalists, those specializing in the hot and New Orleans-descended styles. In some cases, touring (or expatriate) American musicians would record with German groups, sometimes even leading sessions (as in the case of Wild Bill Davison) or co-leading with simpatico Germans (as with Lee Konitz). Also, as in America, musicians rebelled against the strictness of big bands, and embraced what would be the avant-garde of its day: bebop. Then there was the cool school of small groups (influenced by Brubeck, Tristano, and Konitz) and the modern big bands. This valuable set chronicles that fertile, diverse time.
