"Trackdown"

We get a view of the Fox Theatre in Hollywood in "Trackdown" (United Artists, 1976). Richard T. Heffron directed James Mitchum, Karen Lamm and Anne Archer in a tale of a girl who leaves a Montana cattle ranch to make it big in Hollywood. Of course, her brother follows to make sure she stays out of trouble. The Fox, at 6508 Hollywood Blvd., opened in 1918 as the Iris and was re-branded as the Fox in 1968. Until recently the space had been a nightclub. 

 

A look west toward the Holly Theatre, 6523 Hollywood Blvd. It opened in 1931 as the Studio, a conversion from what had been retail space. It's now a restaurant.  

 

A shot looking east with the Vogue Theatre, 6675 Hollywood Blvd., on the left. The theatre was a 1935 design by S. Charles Lee. It's now a "multi-cultural museum." The glowing marquee and oval up on the facade seen on the far right is for the Ritz at 6656 Hollywood Blvd. It opened as a newsreel house called the News-View and was for a time part of the Pussycat chain.

Thanks to Eric Schaefer for spotting the theatres in the film and getting the screenshots. See the pages about the Fox, the Holly, the Vogue and the Ritz on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more information and many, many photos.
