Must be a repost, but I do love this shot. Are there any panorama photos from the observation tower? One would think. https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/651/33...c998c2a3_b.jpg |

This artwork was used in most of the advertising in one way or another: http://www.artnet.com/WebServices/im...er-artwork.jpgArtnet The billboard says Why "Hud"?, a line that Brandon De Wilde delivers in the film. The film also stars Melvyn Douglas and Patricia Neal, who both won Oscars for their performances. It is based on a Larry McMurtry novel titled Horseman, Pass By. In the novel, the Hud character is minor and he actually rapes Alma. Also, in the novel Alma is named Halmea and is black. I like the film so much I don't think I want to alter my feelings about it by reading the source material. It was nominated for seven Oscars and won three. Brandon De Wilde accepted Douglas's Oscar on his behalf. (Patty Duke presented it.) http://celebrityimages.org/thumbs/00...0001121_2.jpeg In the film "Under the Sea," where Kevin Spacey plays Bobby Darin, there's a scene in the garage of Bobby Darin's home where he and his wife, Sandra Dee, have just returned from these Oscars (Bobby Darin was nominated for Captain Newman, M.D.) and he gets into a fight with her; Darin is pissed about old Melvyn Douglas winning over him. |

Very interesting Grand Central Garage items Beaudry.
I had completely forgotten that it was once the world's largest garage. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...922/rFgCYE.jpg Now I see why the garage was the subject of it's own postcard. _ & I really like this screen-shot from '48 Hours t2. Grand Central Garage http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...922/IceSyi.jpg originally posted by tovangar2 With the relatively small windows I'd think the fumes from the 1,000+ cars would be pretty unbearable. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/eD8qxx.jpg originally posted by Beaudry __ |
Thanks to ScottyB, tovangar2 and CBD for showing me to the wonders of the Dishmaster faucet system! Also, belated thanks to e_r for the great follow-up about Throop Hall and the Calder Arches.
--------------- It's time to let Julius Shulman take us to the theater. This is "Job 6157: Anthony and Langford, Norris Community Theatre (Palos Verdes Peninsula, Calif.), 1983". I'll start with a couple of the color shots - I haven't left many out today. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Here's the side view. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original That must be the ticket booth between the plants. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original The way to the auditorium, under the glass above the entrance. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original A romantic evening for two? http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original The upper seating area is completely empty. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute I tried to duplicate the original photo with GSV. The building is now just known as the Norris Theatre (is that the original lettering moved to a new position?). It's at 27570 Norris Center Drive. At some point they added 448 seats, bringing the current total to 450 :). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...7.jpg~original GSV |
:previous: Strange seeing the two lonely seats.
You'd think they would have waited until all the seats were installed before they hired Mr. Shulman. Here's the auditorium with the 448 additional seats. ;) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/WdRBwG.jpg http://dailybreeze.readerschoice.la/...rforming-arts/ |

The photo is zoomable and there's much to see. The Huntington gives a date of 1902, but the Braly Block is up at 4th and Spring and the Hellman Building/Banco Popular is going up across the street, so I dunno. P.S. W 3rd St is not what it was: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/yj...Q=w575-h484-no google maps |
Those chairs look more like satellite dishes (or washing baskets).
Easy to fall into but almost impossible to get out of.... unless you are very tall, your feet don't touch the ground http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original A small, but neatly designed kitchen. Notice that the burners on the hob are built into the worktop. The tap mechanism looks very complicated. The thing on the sink is called a "Dishmaster" It has a reservoir for dishwashing liquid which is dispensed when the button is pressed on the brush. They were very popular in the late 50's and into the 60's. OK ignore this one. That's what I get when I don't read all the way to the end before posting. |

Sid Davis Educational Film - "Keep Off The Grass" (1969)
Another classic educational scare film from producer Sid Davis, 1969's "Keep Off The Grass" features many cliches and little in the way of facts from professionals in the field of science and medicine.
Filmed in cooperation with the Santa Monica Police Department, featuring many contemporary locations and a few familiar character actors. It also features high school students that appear to be 30 years old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=issu...88404092597991 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RiBOGpT0hWY/hqdefault.jpg YouTube https://i.ytimg.com/vi/25gq2MA6nI4/maxresdefault.jpg YouTube |

someone forgot to pick up the morning paper..........................................:previous: Good Eye Martin Pal! I wasn't able to find the quote "Why Hud?". It seems like an odd choice to put on a billboard. Was it a pivotal line in the movie? (it's been awhile since I've seen the film) Speaking of odd choice, take a look at the by-line on this Hud poster. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/0p7XU8.jpg movie_posters.inc "The Man With the Barbed Wire Soul" lol. What does that even mean? [rhetorical question ;)] __ |
"...walk with us through old Los Angeles..." What an invitation :-)
