"Mikey and Nicky"

A view of the Palace Theatre, 630 S. Broadway from Elaine May's "Mikey and Nicky" (Paramount, 1976). The mob drama features Peter Falk, John Cassavetes, Rose Arrick, Carol Grace, William Hickey, Ned Beatty and Sanford Meisner. The principal cinematography was by Bernie Abramson.

Thanks to Eric Schaefer for spotting the theatre in the film and getting screenshot. He comments:

"The film was shot in 1973 and 1974 but released in 1976. My city sleuthing detected that the triple bill on the marquee played the week of January 18, 1974. That's the back of Ned Beatty's head in silhouette. Also note that here downtown L.A. is doubling for Philadelphia, where the film is set."

See the pages about the Palace Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for a history of the building and hundreds of photos.
