"Streets of Fire"

Walter Hill's "Streets of Fire" with Diane Lane (Universal, 1984) used the Wiltern Theatre for some concert sequences but we don't get to see much of the building. Here we get a murky look from the stage into the auditorium. The cinematography was by Andrew Laszlo.

See the pages about the Wiltern Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for the history of this deco landmark along with hundreds of photos of all areas of the building.
