...state that has gained the most is New York. New York City has long been a film center in its own right, and now has a one-third share of U.S. movie production. In 1983, 66 movies were shot there, including The Pope of Greenwich Village, Ghostbusters and Francis Coppola's The Cotton Club. In the first half of this year...
...never stopped ringing. "Congratulations. The National Book Critics Circle has just named Ironweed the best novel of 1983." "Congratulations. Ironweed has been awarded a Pulitzer Prize." Callers from the West Coast snatched up the film rights to earlier novels, Legs and Billy Phelan's Greatest Game.

The company, making its American debut, opened in Houston late last month and moved to Austin last week; this week it plays San Antonio before rounding out the month with stints in New Orleans and New York City. Director Jonathan Miller's startling reinterpretation of Verdi's first masterpiece was the talk of London at its premiere...
