...Boston’s support for documentary and independent filmmaking has occasionally found its influence filtered into the mainstream. Independent filmmaker Jan Egleson shot films in Cambridge during the late 70s and early 80s, and his working-class dramas inspired other local filmmakers, such as Christine Dall and Randall Conrad—a husband-wife duo whose 1981 film “The Dozens” won an award at the U.S. Film and Video Festival, the Sundance Film Festival’s predecessor. Egleson was also an early admirer of Ben Affleck, casting the actor in his 1981 film...
...Angela's offer to fish together at the Salmon Falls Resort in Ketchikan, Alaska. She picked a lodge that provided guided trips on comfortable boats, packed lunches and cleaned their catch each day. They caught lots of fish, saw pods of orca whales and watched a school of Dall's porpoises. Angela had worried that father and daughter, both stubborn, might "butt heads," but she found it easy to defer...
...Lewis directed "Gun Crazy," his most famous title and without a doubt one of the best lovers-on-the-run movies ever made. Inspired by the exploits of Bonnie and Clyde, the film offers up a "weak sister" who's an expert marksman ("Rope"'s John Dall) as he falls in love with a sharpshooting femme fatale (British actress Peggy Cummins).

We ride with our young lovers (dressed in matching cowboy and cowgirl outfits!) as they enter a small town, and stop in front of the targeted bank.

Once Dall is back inside, we flee from the police - not having eavesdropped so much as participated in the characters' crime spree. By largely...
...even when his clients have money, Koolhaas doesn't spend it on materials. The Villa Dall'Ava, outside Paris, cost $485,000, yet the architect still used orange plastic webbing, familiar from construction sites, for a balustrade on the roof. One room on the ground floor is surrounded on three sides by glass, which can be opened to the outside or enclosed by a curtain--almost like a hospital bed--for more intimacy. The clients asked for a "masterpiece," and they got an adventure. Neighbors, on the other hand, so opposed the plan that the house had to be fought...
