We get a fine scene in the park in front of the Pan Pacific Auditorium in "Miracle Mile" (Hemdale Releasing, 1989). It looks like we'll have a sweet little love story with Mare Winningham and Anthony Edwards as the leads.
Another shot from the scene. We also see lots lots of the May Co. building at Wilshire and Fairfax as well as the coffee shop across the street where Winningham works. Then with one mis-dialed phone call it all turns into a nuclear apocalypse. Steve De Jarnatt directed.
The poor Pan Pacific, at 7600 Beverly Blvd., was neglected and unloved
after newer facilities opened. It had opened in 1935, closed in 1972 and
was demolished after a spectacular fire in May 1989, the same month the film was released. See the page about the
Pan Pacific Auditorium on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more photos.
