520 1 $a"Interleafing his own recollections with astute social commentary, Marshall Berman reveals how movies, graphic arts, literature, popular music, television, and, of course, the Broadway theater have reflected Times Square's voluminous light to illuminate a vast spectrum of themes and vignettes. Berman shows us Times Square as it is seen in Alfred Eisenstadt's iconic photography, the movies of Busby Berkeley, John Schlesinger, and Martin Scorsese, and the stage choreography of Jerome Robbins." "Conversely, we see how Times Square's distinctive aura finds its source in a stunningly diverse list of performers, writers, and impresarios, including Theodore Dreiser, Florenz Ziegfeld, Ethel Merman, Al Jolson, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen. Berman also celebrates the unsung heroes of Times Square - the artists, engineers, and hucksters behind the Square's landmark signs that, throughout the decades, re-created raging waterfalls, blew smoke rings, bathed onlookers in the Square's eerily welcoming light, and projected the image of what Americans want to be against a surface of who we really are."--BOOK JACKET.
