2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment, March 11, 2000
By A Customer
The author of this book had a terrific idea, but the book disappoints because of its overwhelming emphasis on post-1980 movies. Manhattan locations for Hitchcock's North by Northwest, and The Godfather, among others are either left by the wayside or sorely underrepresented. Ghostbusters, on the other hand seems to pop up on each page.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hollywood in Your Backyard, March 24, 2004
By Miztred (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
Manhattan on Film is a collection of thirteen walking tours that take you to New York City locations and sites used in some of Hollywood's most popular films. Each tour is set up by neighborhood and designed to take no more than two hours. Each section starts with a brief neighborhood description, has an easy-to-follow map, has clear transportation instructions to get you to your starting point, and includes concise directions that take you to each location. You can also take a quick peek at the movie index to find out where your favorite film has been shot.

Katz's book hits on all levels. General walking tour enthusiasts will find this guide a refreshing and excellent alternative to the standard, traditional guides. Tourists and visitors (Katz says that Israeli cabinet members are big fans of his book) to the city will get the feeling that they've tapped into a secret side of the city, somehow escaping the same old tourist itineraries. At the same time, ardent film fans will appreciate the trivia factoids and the concise capsules describing famous scenes that easily evoke an, "Oh yeah, I remember that!"

A wonderful find for any film fan, resident New Yorker, or visitor to the city.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Uncommon Way To Get To Know New York City, March 23, 2000
By A Customer
A very entertaining way to get to know New York, or to rediscover it. Instead of the usual tour books that will take the reader to the standard, well known sights, this book offers the possibility to get to know Manhattan's various neighborhoods by walking to different movie locations. The movies are ones we have all seen, which make the scenes come vividly to life when you get to them. Although the book also has tours of midtown, that will take the reader through the more common tourist attractions, the real joy for me came from walking through the narrow streets of neighborhoods like the West Village or the upper West Side.

An unexpected benefit was that, unlike most guidebooks that tend to give you a dry recitation of descriptions and facts about the different tourist destinations, Chuck Katz' dry wit and genuine affection for his material makes reading about the locations a pleasure.
