For this second part of our BOSTON ON FILM series, we go beyond the crime film to focus on how the institutions of Boston – educational, social, medical, and the press – are depicted on screen. Inclusion of these institutions – especially those of higher learning like Harvard and MIT – sometimes create shortcuts for character development or plot points but they just as often serve as dramatic backdrops for love stories or thrillers. Additionally, because the focus is not on the underground criminal element, these films are more likely to feel like time-capsules giving us a glimpse into a Greater Boston that many of us have never seen.
