"Witness to Murder"

The Four Star Theatre, 5112 Wilshire Blvd, is seen in "Witness to Murder" (United Artists, 1954). Jack Tillmany spotted it 68 minutes into the film when Barbara Stanwyck drives by. On the marquee it's  "Julius Caesar" with Marlon Brando, which opened there in November 1953.

The film was directed by Roy Rowland and also stars George Sanders and Gary Merrill.  It's a tale of Stanwyck's sanity being questioned after she reports seeing a murder from her apartment.
 

Another frame a moment later. See the page about the Four Star Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more about the deco house designed by Walker & Eisen and Clifford Balch. Sadly, it was demolished in 2014.
