Please join historian Sarah Marcus and view the history of Chicago through television and film, noting how producers or popular culture have depicted the city and its residents. Using a variety of clips from Scarface (1932) to The Untouchables (1987), from Stud's Place (1950-1951) to Good Times (1974-1979) - this presentation follows the camera's focus and reflects on lasting impressions created by flashing images on the screen.
