The L as Movie Star
We started our visit today by riding the L into Chicagos Loop. The L is so much a part of Chicago that its not surprising to see it in many movies set in the Windy City.
Film director Andrew Davis grew up in Chicago. He used the L in films including The Package, Code of Silence, Above the Law, and, of course, The Fugitive.
[Andrew Davis talks about filming The Fugitive]
This is done on a moving train at night, back and forth, in a loop around The Loop. Ive had a lot of experience shooting on the Ls in Chicago. Almost all of my films Ive done there have the L as part of the fabric, and they were very cooperative with us.
[From The Fugitive ]
L Motorman: Next stop, Balbo Station, Balbo
Andreas Katsoulas : This is my stop.
Harrison Ford : This is my stop, too.
Transit Policeman: Kimble! [Gunshots]
[L Train goes into emergency stop as Kimble pulls emergency handle]
Harrison Ford : You missed your stop!
Andrew Davis: I love you, Chicago!
So do we! This program was written by Jerilyn Watson, who grew up in Chicago, and by yours truly Steve Ember, who likes to visit, ride the L, look at the exciting mix of architecture, and take pictures in the Windy City whenever he can. Join us again next week for another This is America from Learning English.
