I had mentioned earlier this month and subsequent posts showed that poinsettia fields once dotted the areas around West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. This youtube link, 1940's, right near the beginning, shows a large poinsettia field off Sunset, though the exact location isn't specified. Later on, one of the houses has a poinsettia plant in the picture. There's brief glimpses of Hollywood (the Blvd. at night at Christmas) and environs in this, what I suspect was some kind of travel film, including a bit of The Carthay Circle Theater in color. (All the film is in color, though it isn't the best quality.)
