We get a fine view of the Pantages Theatre, 6233 Hollywood Blvd., in Brian De Palma's "The Black Dahlia" (Universal, 2006). Josh Hartnett isn't going to a movie. But he does pay a visit to the Frolic Room next door. In the film it's a lesbian bar and he's looking for anyone who has seen Elizabeth Short.
The film also stars Scarlett Johansson, Aaron Eckhart, Hilary Swank and Mia Kershner. On the Pantages marquee De Palma has "Black Angel," a 1946 film about the murder of a singer starring Dan Duryea, June Vincent and Peter Lorre.
See the pages about the Pantages Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres website for hundreds of photos of the building.
