We get a nice look at the Picfair Theatre marquee in the background of this shot looking east on Pico near the end of “The Devil’s Hand" (Crown International, 1961). That's Robert Alda helping Ariadne Welter into the car. It's a nearly unwatchable tale of voodoo and cult behavior that also stars Linda Christian (Ariadne's older sister) and Neil Hamilton. William J. Hole, Jr. was the director. Thanks to Cinema Treasures contributor Chas Smith for the tipoff about the theatre view.
The top of the double bill at the Picfair at the time of the filming was "I Want To Live!" (1958) with Susan Hayward. The theatre was at 5879 W. Pico Blvd., just west of Fairfax. See the Los Angeles Theatres page about the Picfair for a few photos.
