I'm so thrilled to have found this post!<br /><br />I lived in So Cal for 30 years and so wished I'd have explored more of Hollywood and L.A. but, after the 80's I never bothered. I did visit Marilyn Monroe and Natalie Woods graves though! My oldest son lived in Silver Lake and now lives in another part of L.A. so when I get back there to visit him I'll have to visit some of the places you show on your blog!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14871388473674516955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-44964191424712379972013-01-15T08:05:48.747-08:002013-01-15T08:05:48.747-08:00What a wonderful post!

I'm currently writing a dissertation on the portrayal of Hollywood and Los Angeles in film noir, which deals a lot with the locations used and how the city acts almost as a character in its own right. This was very interesting to read :)himynameisCharlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06149514540370898735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-62681913315567324082012-06-16T19:06:50.289-07:002012-06-16T19:06:50.289-07:00Aunt Snow,

Hughes' novel that the film was based on, in the opening chapter Dix Steele has a drink in a bar described as having a ship's prow as a facade. That bar is in the commercial strip where the Casino Lunch is in the historical society picture - it's the Ship Ahoy beneath the banner. During the '50s it was a gay bar called the SS Friendship, and appears in the novels of Christopher Isherwood (who lived nearby). It still has that ship's prow today.Glennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681336164718681936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-14678896410340344312011-06-26T22:04:08.957-07:002011-06-26T22:04:08.957-07:00Terrific detective work!

We saw an old tile mural at the top of one of the roads in the Outpost Estates and have not been able to find anything about it. I can send you a photo if you wish. Email me at cgm95 @ yahoo.com.<br /><br />Love to see the old locations, BTW. We do the same thing whenever we are in town.<br /><br />ChristopherChristopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10154160526680101506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-46388545928777222322011-06-26T08:15:17.980-07:002011-06-26T08:15:17.980-07:00great job on finding that building with the little...great job on finding that building with the little fancy corner! good detective work indeed! :) xoxoZinnia Cresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16364825491384576287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-65106676066707483472011-06-26T07:30:14.117-07:002011-06-26T07:30:14.117-07:00Hi Chris,

Beverly and S. Santa Monica (where Bogie is stopped in his car) is where Vincent Price's Little Gallery used to be located. I wrote about that location here: http://dearoldhollywood.blogspot.com/2010/11/vincent-prices-little-gallery.html<br /><br />Thanks C.K. Dexter Haven. It really is amazing what studio artists can recreate on a soundstage. It really is an art!Robby Cresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535820211830339224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-49206748633756495462011-06-26T02:18:39.647-07:002011-06-26T02:18:39.647-07:00A job well done!

Those bungalows always had me curious and learning they were indeed a soundstage makes sense...that Hollywood magic again.<br /><br /><i>In a Lonely Place</i> should be Ray's finest moment, but unfortunately it's hampered by some comedic music scoring and the poor performance of Art Smth as Dix's manager. Otherwise, a fine film.Abe Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13991534345391655980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-63994615184032079012011-06-25T23:04:58.304-07:002011-06-25T23:04:58.304-07:00Thanks for the great information Robbie!!
