Trailer >> Movie
The trailer for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves contained a shot in which the camera was mounted on an arrow. The shot, done especially for the trailer, was far more memorable than anything else in the movie. I’m afraid this line from an abstract of a New Yorker article by Andrea Lee about growing up in Pennsylvania–
Writer briefly describes a lunch with an Italian movie director who tells her about an affair he once had with a woman from Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
–is going to be more memorable than anything in the article.
You can see the arrow shot here.
