 From the camp horror classic The Creature from the Black Lagoon to Scarface, many films have indelible connections to Florida. This guide to Florida cinema and locations reveals that the Sunshine State has been an integral part not only of America’s film history but also of its cultural history.Doll and Morrow group more than 80 films shot in Florida by theme, covering each movie with a plot synopsis, cast and credits list, and a discussion of the film’s importance. They feature behind-the-scenes views of the making of each film, analyze each film’s connection with its Florida locale, and offer an abundance of details and revelations about the filmmakers and stars. Each chapter concludes with a Movie Tourist's Guide to sites connected to the films that can be visited by the public. Movie fans will learn how the makers of True Lies brought stunning realism to the famed bridge sequence. Cinema scholars will appreciate the authors’ attention to forgotten films and little-known pioneers from the silent era. Movie tourists will want to venture to famous locations, such as those in South Beach, where scenes from Scarface and The Birdcage were filmed. And Florida natives will enjoy the book’s references to the state’s history and unique attractions, including Weeki Wachee Springs, Cypress Gardens, and Ross Allen’s Reptile Institute. Florida on Film is the essential guide for anyone interested in the history of filmmaking in the Sunshine State.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have for movie buffs traveling or living in Florida!
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2016

Authors Doll and Morrow synopsize and discuss four score and more American-made movies – some popular classics (e.g., Key Largo, A Flash of Green, Some Like it Hot, Midnight Cowboy, True Lies …), some less well-known (like surprisingly interesting silent-films), and some cult favorites (The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Body Heat) – but all are either (or both) set in or filmed on location in Florida. Each of 9 chapters organizes a cluster of films related by theme, or genre, or era, and ties them to film lore, cultural history, and geography, wrapping up with a travel guide to places in Florida that you yourself can actually physically visit!!! An unparalleled resource for touring Florida off the beaten track, or for one- or two-day “staycation” itineraries for Florida residents.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected!

I bought this book thinking I was getting a book of facts on the movies filmed in Florida with detailed information of the locations where they were filmed. This is more of a philosophical book on how the Florida locations added to the meaning of the movies. Several notable movies weren't even listed or locations weren't even mentioned. I'm returning it tomorrow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Let the sun shine
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2008
As a longtime Florida resident and film professor this book hits on all topics. I had no idea that Florida was such a great filming spot. This book goes beyond the typical this happened here and that happened there to give an in depth look at the films and their locations. A great book for tourists and film fans. This would be a great book for film programs to introduce tourists to great spots around the state of Florida.
