The Sepulveda Drive-In Theatre in Van Nuys gets a cameo in "The Bank Shot" (United Artists, 1974). Gower Champion directed this caper film based on a novel by Donald Westlake. It stars George C. Scott, Joanna Cassidy, Clifton James and Bob Balaban. The cinematography was by Harry Stradling, Jr.
Thanks to Eric Schaefer for spotting the theatre in the film and getting
the screenshot.
The gang had put wheels under a manufactured home-style temporary bank and hauled it away. But it's green and easily recognized. Here they're bringing it into the drive-in for a project: painting it pink.
A look back toward the snackbar/booth.
