We get some nice footage looking west toward the Pantages Theatre throughout the opening credit sequence of "Exposed" (Republic, 1947). George Blair directed this crime drama starring Adele Mara as a beautiful female detective. The film also features Mark Roberts, Lorna Gray, Robert Armstrong, William Haade and Bob Steele. It was written by Royal K. Cole and Charles Moran. The cinematography was by William Bradford.
Thanks to Paul Ayers for spotting the theatre in the film and getting the screenshot for a Facebook post. He notes that the full film can be viewed on YouTube, posted there by Chris T.
See the pages about the Pantages Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for many photos and a history of the 1930 vintage vaudeville and film house.
