John Huston's "The Asphalt Jungle" (MGM, 1950) is supposedly set in Cincinnati but here we are in L.A. looking across a parking lot toward the bright lights of the United Artists on Broadway.
Another shot showing the United Artists but with the marquee off. We're breaking into a building from the alley between Broadway and Main St. It doesn't go well. The film stars Sterling Hayden (as the hooligan), Jean Hagen and Sam Jaffe.
See the Los Angeles Theatres pages on the United Artists Theatre for a history of the 1927 vintage movie palace along with hundreds of photos.
On IMDb: "The Asphalt Jungle"
