"The Rocketeer"


Jennifer Connolly and Bill Campbell go to a movie at the Rialto in South Pasadena in "The Rocketeer" (Touchstone Pictures, 1991) directed by Joe Johnston.



A look to the rear of the house. Of course at the Rialto the booth isn't at the back of the main floor as this shot would have us believe. It's not a major scene and we don't get any exterior views. The film is set in Los Angeles in 1938. We're trying to keep a rocket pack out of the hands of the Nazis.

See the Los Angeles Theatres page on the Rialto Theatre for more about the building, a 1925 design by Lewis A. Smith.

On IMDb: "The Rocketeer
