"Straight Time"


Dustin Hoffman, Gary Busey and an unidentified passenger drive by the Westlake Theatre on Alvarado St. in "Straight Time" (First Artists/Warner Bros., 1978). The film, directed by Ulu Groabard, also stars Teresa Russell, Kathy Bates, Harry Dean Stanton and M. Emmet Walsh. It's a tale of a career burglar assaulting his parole officer and returning to a life of crime.



Another look a few frames later. Thanks to Sean Ault for identifying the theatre in the film and providing the screenshots. See the Westlake Theatre pages on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more about the building. 

On IMDb: "Straight Time"
