I'd never heard of these 1953 RKO films, so I looked them up. Devil's Canyon starred Virginia Mayo and Dale Robertson. There are several films with that title from the following years: 1935, 1953, 2007, 2011 and even a 2017 TV series with that title. Second Chance is a film starring Robert Mitchum and Linda Darnell. There are also several films with the title of Second Chance: 1947, 1953, two separate films from 2016 and also a 2016 TV series. There are also these variations: A 2nd Chance (2011), A Second Chance (2018) and The Second Chance (2006). There are some plural "chances", too: Second Chances (1998), Second Chances (TV Movie 2010) and Second Chances (TV Movie 2013). Based on this, I would not name a film or TV show either of these titles again! :) Quote:
Unless it just didn't register before when I've seen photos of the NBC Radio City building, I never noticed the "marquees" over the doors like the one to the right of the "N" in the watermark, where those three people are up to something. I cannot make out any of the writing here, though. :shrug: Related: c. 1942 https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7202/6...67db3ed4_b.jpgFlickr This brochure for the NBC Radio City Studio TOur at Sunset & Vine has been posted before and I've seen it online in various places, but I recently came across this one I'd not seen before: https://www.bolerium.com/pictures/228580.jpgBolerium The seller says it's undated but believes it's c. 1940's. https://www.bolerium.com/pictures/228580_2.jpgBolerium |
While we're on the subject of cars over cliffs...

If the people in the first photo are standing on the side of the road, I don't think the accident could have been in the Portugese Bend area of Palos Verdes. Palos Verdes Drive is not as low and close to the ocean there as the road seems to be in the accident photos. I don't see all that many dents in the Cadillac or much broken glass (the windshield seems intact), so I don't think the car fell very far. Perhaps the accident happened elsewhere in Palos Verdes, or on Pacific Coast Hwy. up in Malibu or further north? |

More Santa Monica Incline

I just found this 1924 image that provides a good look at the location of the incline railway -- which may not have been in operation at the time -- and adjacent stairs: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psrjnorbvv.jpg 487597 at Huntington Digital Library This enlargement of part of a 1915 image that e_r posted shows the same location. Below the yellow dot is the small building we see at the top of the incline in the other two photos: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6imup504.jpg |

Does anyone recognize this movie car crash?
https://imageshack.com/a/img923/695/1xhc4q.gif found HERE |
This isn't a crash...but it's a swell idea for a car wash.
https://imageshack.com/a/img924/1598/xmgtXR.gif from HERE The information says it's from a Buster Keaton movie. (Roscoe Arbuckle is also mentioned) |
