We get this fine look at the Million Dollar Theatre, 3rd & Broadway, in "Murder in the First" (Warner Bros., 1995). Christian Slater is crossing the street to go into the Bradbury Building. The film is set in San Francisco c.1941 and Slater plays a public defender on the case of Alcatraz inmate Kevin Bacon, accused of killing another prisoner. The Bradbury is seen a lot in the film as the offices of Brad Dourif, playing Slater's brother, who is trying to interfere in the case. The film was directed by Marc Rocco.
See the pages about the Million Dollar Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for a history of this 1918 vintage movie palace along with many photos.
