"The Slams"


We get this fine look at the Los Feliz Theatre, 1822 N. Vermont Ave., in "The Slams" (MGM, 1973).  Jim Brown, Judy Pace and Roland Bob Harris star in this crime drama about a quest for money stashed before Brown was sent to prison. Jonathan Kaplan directed.

Thanks to Eric Schaefer for spotting the theatre in the film and getting the screenshot. The film also spends some time at the Lincoln Heights jail, in the LaCienega oil fields and at Pacific Ocean Park.

Head to the Los Feliz Theatre page on the Los Angeles Theatres site for information about this 1935 vintage house, a design by Clifford A. Balch.
