"Auto Focus"


In Paul Schrader's "Auto Focus" (Sony Pictures Classics, 2002) the El Rey on Wilshire Blvd., thinly disguised as the "El Roy," is the theatre in the film where the unsuccessful Bob Crane film "Superdad" is playing. This view is followed by a shot or two of people watching the movie inside but those weren't done at the theatre. Starring in the film are Greg Kinnear, William Dafoe and Maria Bello.

See the El Rey Theatre page on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more about the Miracle Mile film house, now a music venue. It was a design of Clifford Balch.
