Tourists visit RKO Studios in Culver City.
The RKO sign matches the neo-Colonialism of the administration building in the background but
, honestly
, I thought the sign would have been a bit fancier.
I don't see any small floodlights on the ground to light up the sign at night. I wonder if there is neon around the border of the sign (similar to the neon around the 'circus' paintings on the, recently discussed, Beckman Furs sign.
(I took a closer look. I think it's probably wood molding and
not neon)
As most of you know the administration building
(behind the sign) is shown (most famously) at the beginning of
Gone With the Wind when it was the administration building of Selznick International Studios.
If I remember correctly there was a hanging sign back then. (or maybe that was just for the movies)
