"Special Delivery"

We get a look at the Regent Theatre, 448 S. Main St., in "Special Delivery" (American International, 1976). Paul Wendkos directed the story about a bank robbery in downtown L.A. The robber put the loot into a mail box and, unknown to him, there were several witnesses. Cybill Shepard and Bo Svenson starred. The cinematography was by Harry Stradling, Jr.

Thanks to Eric Schaefer for spotting the theatre in the film and getting the screenshot. See the pages about the Regent Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for a history of the venue along with photos inside and out.

On IMDb: "Special Delivery

Sean Ault notes that the full film can be seen on YouTube.
