In
Merchant Ivory's English Landscape author John Pym's engaging
text gives a refreshing account of Merchant Ivory's four recent
English movies -- A Room with a View, Maurice, Howard's End
and The Remains of the Day -- taking the reader behind the
scenes of the making of the films, revealing how aspects of the
English people and culture were researched and portrayed, locations
chosen, and scenes executed. Nearly 100 superb film stills and production
shots - most reproduced in color and never before seen - re-create
the quintessential flavor and sense of place of Merchant Ivory's
films. Intermingled with scenes of England's timeless landscapes
and gardens, grand country houses, cityscapes, and views of Oxford
and Cambridge are more intimate scenes, detailed interiors, and
close-ups of the actors. Complete with travel directions, opening
hours, and descriptions of nearby places of interest.
