MOVIE
PALACES (4-part documentary for TV)
The story of the buildings that made the movies
The “Golden Age” of cinema conjures a magical period of classic Hollywood movies and stars, but it’s no coincidence that this was also the golden age of cinema architecture. Out past the proscenium picture frame into the ornate auditorium, through the fantasy foyer and onto to the street, with its illuminated marquee and grand façade. In the Golden Age of cinema, ‘the show started on the sidewalk.’ |
