Re: SOUTH BROADWAY AFTER DARK
The Rialto is now an Urban Outfitters, but the building is still there. The theater itself wasn't that large compared to other L.A. downtown theaters, but it was said to have the longest marquee on Broadway. I thought about wording it differently as, yes, Hibi, the building itself is still there.

Re: KRAKATOA WEST OF VINE
Krakatoa is actually WEST of Java, but that's Hollywood! So then, what you're tellin' me here Hibi is that BESIDES that old axiom that says "Never get your History from Hollywood movies", we should ALSO add the subject of Geography to that here TOO then, huh?! (...thanks, I'll keep this i...

Re: KRAKATOA WEST OF VINE
Anyone here ever catch this movie's sequel..."Krakatoa: And It Hurts Like Hell" ? It's the story of Murray Schwartz M.D., Beverly Hills' Podiatrist to the Stars. (...didn't think so...it was a box office bomb, ya know) I missed that one, Dargo, but it reminded me of the one about a gun-to...

Re: KRAKATOA WEST OF VINE
Yes, Hibi, the proverbial Hollywood license knows no bounds...
Another example that comes to mind for me: blond and tall John Schneider cast as shorter and darker Michael Landon in MICHAEL LANDON The Father I Knew!?

KRAKATOA WEST OF VINE
The late eruption of KRAKATOA EAST OF JAVA in the United States is said to have occurred at the C I N E R A M A dome 55 years ago on this day... Quentin Tarantino later recreated the theater's facade for his ONCE UPON A TIME IN... HOLLYWOOD : https://thenewbev.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Krakatoa...

SOUTH BROADWAY AFTER DARK
Though IMDb offers May 19, 1924, as the New York City premiere of "BROADWAY AFTER DARK" , I'm confident that the movie was already playing at GRAUMAN'S RIALTO theater, which was located on S. Broadway in Los Angeles, one-hundred years ago: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZjRiOTVjZW...

Re: The Greatest Suicides on Film
Damn, Dargo, I wish I'd come up with that one! So NS, you fellow ol' SoCal boy, you. Can you tell me where the exterior shots were filmed in this flick and as Eddie G. walks toward that assisted suicide building?

Re: The Greatest Suicides on Film
Honestly don't have to double-check: the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena!! (I think. ;) ) Yep, that's it! Or, at least WAS it, anyway. 'Cause as I'm sure you know, that location is now where they would build that stadium where they play that game in which almost all players aren't allow to use th...

I love the poignant film friendship of Sol and Thorn... Interesting anecdote to the SOYLENT GREEN duo, Dargo, which you're almost certainly already familiar: Charlton Heston eulogized Edward G. Robinson!! Yep, Eddie G. died within a few weeks of its post-production, as I recall. However, there's ab...
