From the book jacket: "Told from the passionate perspective of an author who grew up here, the book takes the reader on a cinematic road trip through Hollywood history and Connecticut geography, bringing the breezy, intimate, knowledgeable writing style acclaimed by reviewers of Illeana's first book, I blame Dennis Hopper (2015). She defines how the perception of on-screen Connecticut, originally created in Hollywood, has shifted more than that of any other New England state over the decades and provides some surprising conclusions about just what it means to be a "Connecticut movie." Filled with behind-the-scenes stories as well as her own personal snapshots of the places where these films were made, Connecticut in the Movies is not only a keepsake for denizens of the state of a valuable resource for film buffs everywhere."Collection
