Our police lieutenant Dick Chasen (Max Showalter) visits the Burbank Theatre, 548 S. Main St., to visit a dancer (Marian Carr) who knows "The Indestructible Man" (Allied Artists, 1956). The film stars Lon Chaney Jr. as the man in question.
You probably don't want to sit through this one but we do also get nice visits to Angels Flight and the Bradbury Building -- where we throw a body down from the top floor of the atrium.

The "Follies Stage Entrance" of the Burbank in "The Indestructible Man." We go inside to a dressing room, but the interior shots were done on a soundstage somewhere.

The film is on YouTube. Thanks to Sean Ault for spotting it on the site.
