The chic costume, i.e., slacks, seems possibly more significant than the interesting location or the sidewalk, etc. Could the image have been staged or happenstance? I am guessing that in some circles, this may have still raised a few eyebrows. Evidently, Levi's first marketed its pants specifically for women in 1934. 1936, So.

If that is the Sphinx rock, the movie stills are not. Those movie rocks are north and east , behind and to the left of the camera position. Yes they appear in MANY westerns, and they can be seen from the 118 freeway, south side, between the summit and Topanga Cyn Blvd Unfortunately they have been surrounded by condos for longer than I care to consider- probly more than 25 years. For movie views of the trackage in that area I recommend the opening credit scenes of "White Heat" with Cagney, Mayo et al. Later scenes of the train robbery were shot at the west portal of the long tunnel, the second beyond the postcard view, to the right/west in the Simi Valley. The siding was named Hasson and after years of removal , is named for a new siding slightly farther west, used for Metrolink That area was also the site of a gazillion movies and was later made a tourist attraction by, and named for, Ray 'Crash' Corrigan . He was one of many who played a 'Three Mesquiteer" In the 50s Corrigan made the LA Times for being busted in a motel by his wife's snooper. Can't remember the term used for it, but it was illegal until Willy Brown got a law passed, years later, making the term 'consenting adults' familiar, and legal. |

actors, directors and writers who have done commentary for various episodes have mentioned filming many scenes and entire episodes at the Iverson Ranch. Several have even mentioned what Ed Workman noted: Quote:
It even has a section to look up specific rock features! http://iversonmovieranch.blogspot.co...son-movie.html From the blog: Caption: This notated shot shows where the Iverson Movie Ranch, divided into its upper and lower halves, fits into the landscape. The photo is not clear enough to provide a meaningful look at the Iverson Ranch itself, but it helps put the nearby hills, roads and other features in perspective. The photo is not dated, but appears to be from sometime in the 1920s. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S3nstjJM0r...ye-noted+1.png Quote:
According to the blog, the rocks names are often confused because over the years they were called different things in different films. Many of the rocks were called Indian Head. In the photo below (all photos from the blog), a screen still from the film Stagecoach, the rock on the left is noted as Indian Rock, but is also known as Tower Rock and is how the Iverson's identified it. The right rock is Eagle Beak, and is how it's mostly identified at this site, but noted that it's also known as Sphinx. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-U...acharrival.jpg Here's a recent shot of these two rocks and, it's noted, they've been incorporated presently into a park area. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-_...le+Beak-IH.jpg To make matters more confusing, here's a screen still from a Monogram western titled Overland Trails where the Eagle Beak/Sphinx rock is called "Indian Head." https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-M...ils-sphinx.jpg Oddly, though, I find this particular photo shows exactly how one could refer to it as either Eagle Beak or Sphinx. The left side does look like an Eagle Beak to me whereas the right side looks like the Sphinx. Opinions? |

Another iconic rock formation in Chatsworth is 'Stoney Point'.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...910/Nhq2XR.jpg http://a-drifting-cowboy.blogspot.co...max-results=50 Although it wasn't located on Iverson Ranch, it was often seen in the background scenes of movies and television shows filmed on Iverson Ranch. You can see it in this promotional still from 'The Grapes of Wrath' (1940). http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...661/Xcz6sz.jpg http://a-drifting-cowboy.blogspot.co...max-results=50 This scene does not actually appear in the movie, but scenes were filmed just a wee bit to the right (west), leaving 'Stoney Point' out of the final cut. In this screen-shot from 'The Crimson Ghost' (1946), http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320...661/nf6m1T.jpg you get a glimpse of 'Stoney Point' from the south. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...538/PbtEYh.jpg http://a-drifting-cowboy.blogspot.co...max-results=50 The automobile was on Santa Susana Pass Road near Andora Street. Today that portion of Santa Susana Pass Road is Topanga Canyon Boulevard. Although a far cry from 'The Grapes of Wrath', Stoney Point can also be seen it this screenshot from 'Atom Man VS. Superman' (1950). (look closely and you can spot a poorly drawn 'Superman') http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...907/F5FceE.jpg http://a-drifting-cowboy.blogspot.co...max-results=50 In the serial, Lex Luthor, Superman's arch-nemesis, lives in a cave deep inside the Stoney Point outcropping. -pretty cool huh. ;) __ |

BiffRayRock, I think the billboard in question was advertising "The Seas Beneath", a 1931 (sure enough) John Ford flick about submarine warfare during World War I (or so I'm informed by IMDb):
