"The Player"


Tim Robbins finding a seat at South Pasadena's Rialto Theatre in Robert Altman's "The Player" (Fine Line, 1992). He's a Hollywood executive gone to look for a writer he thinks is at the theatre. He's been getting threats after a script rejection. But he doesn't know which writer is responsible.

A shot in front of the stairs.



An encounter in the lobby. Evidently not who he thinks he's looking for.



Vincent D'Onofrio coming out of the auditorium.



A look at Tim Robbins and Vincent D'Onofrio in the Rialto lobby. 



Robbins walking in front of the Rialto after the showing of "The Bicycle Thief."  The actual US title of the 1948 Vittorio De Sica film is "Bicycle Thieves."



Robbins at his car south of the theatre as D'Onofrio comes up from a main floor exit.



Robbins in the exit passageway north of the theatre.



Bad things happen in the parking lot north of the Rialto. Don't look in the puddle.

Thanks to Escott O. Norton of the advocacy group Friends of the Rialto for five of the screenshots appearing here. They're in a Rialto Theatre in the Movies album on the Friends Facebook page.

See the Los Angeles Theatres page on the Rialto Theatre for many photos of the 1925 film/vaudeville house designed by Lewis A. Smith.
