We see the roof sign for the Westlake Theatre in this shot from Fred Zinnemann's "Act of Violence" (MGM, 1948). Van Heflin is at a builders and contractors convention in Los Angeles and running to avoid a potentially deadly confrontation with Robert Ryan, a man who was in his unit in World War II.
Janet Leigh plays Van Heflin's wife and Mary Astor is a call girl who tries to help him. Phyllis Thaxter plays Ryan's wife. The cinematography is by Robert Surtees.
See the Westlake Theatre pages on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more about the building.
