We get a fine view north on Vine St. toward what is now the Montalban Theatre in "My Dream Is Yours"(Warner Bros., 1949). Here it's a radio studio with the vertical signs saying "CBS" and "KNX."
Michael Curtiz directed Jack Carson and Doris Day in the story of an agent who will try anything to turn a talented singer into a new star he needs for a radio program. Lee Bowman plays a cad of a crooner Doris (temporarily) falls for, Adolphe Menjou is Jack's frazzled boss in the talent agency and Eve Arden is a colleague in the office. Bugs Bunny also makes an appearance.
Later Jack and Doris are having a cheap lunch and we get a nice view up the street toward the Montalban.
We get a view of Grauman's Chinese in the background as Jack makes a phone call from Hollywood Blvd. and Orange Dr.
See the pages on the Chinese Theatre and the Montalban on the Los Angeles Theatres site for the history of these two Hollywood landmarks along with hundreds of photos.
