Florida has been the location and subject of hundreds of feature films, fromCocoanuts(1929) toMonster(2004). Portraying the state and its people from the silent era to the present, these films have explored the multitude of Florida images and cliches that have captured the public's imagination--a nature lover's paradise, a wildlife refuge, a tourist destination, home to the cracker, and a haven for the retired, the rich, the immigrant, and the criminal.Sunshine in the Darkis the first complete study of how the movie industry has immortalized Floridas extraordinary scenery, characters, and history on celluloid.Historians Fernndez and Ingalls have identified more than 300 films about Florida--many of them shot on location in the state--to analyze how filmmakers from the Marx Brothers and John Huston to Oliver Stone and Francis Ford Coppola have portrayed the state and its people. Prior to the 1960s, cinematic trips to Florida usually brought happy endings in movies likeMoon Over Miami(1942), but since the 1970s, films likeScarface(1982) have emphasized the state's menacing aspects.In the authors' analysis of the films, which examines location settings, plotlines, and characters, they find a bevy of Florida stereotypes among the leading characters--from the struggling crackers inThe Yearling(1946) to the drug-addicted con man inAdaptation(2002). Featuring more than 100 still photographs from movies, as well as filmographies by year and genre, the book is an encyclopedic resource for movie fans and anyone interested in Florida popular culture.
