Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Shadows is film first shown in 1958, before being reworked for a 1959 release, by John Cassavetes.It revolves around a tight circle of friends and acquaintances in the New York City jazz scene, and specifically around three siblings. Ben is a light-skinned black trumpet player who spends not enough time working as a trumpeter and too much time cruising around Manhattan with his white buddies looking for girls. His similarly light-skinned sister Lelia (played by Lelia Goldoni, who was actually Sicilian) meets Tony, a white hipster, at a party. They fall in love. The third sibling, significantly more darker-skinned Hugh, is trying to make it as a jazz singer, but is struggling to get work outside of sleazy low-rent nightclubs. The three stories of the three siblings sometimes proceed separately, and sometimes intersect, playing out against the background of hip New York beatniks.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Shadows was a no-budget production filmed by Cassavetes, at that time an acting coach and television actor, without permits on a 16mm borrowed camera. It launched Cassavetes' career as an acclaimed director of art-house cinema, and has since come to be regarded as a landmark of American independent film. Also of notice is this being his fellow collaborator Seymour Cassel's debut. | |

Beatnik: Pretty much everybody, as the film is filled with writers and artists and musicians in hipster Manhattan. | |

Be Yourself: After her heartbreak with Tony, Lelia adopts a brassy, hard-shell attitude with Davey, making him wait two hours to take her out, insulting him, and also acting sexually aggressive. When Davey tells her to knock it off, saying simply that "It's you I like," she starts to cry and then embraces him as they dance. | |
