We get this fine view of the Million Dollar Theatre, 3rd and Broadway, in "Murphy's Law" (Cannon, 1986). It's a police drama starring Charles Bronson, Kathleen Wilhoite and Carrie
Snodgress. J. Lee Thompson directed. The cinematography was by Alex
Phillips, Jr.
Thanks to Eric Schaefer for spotting the theatre in the film and getting the screenshot. He comments:
"Bronson has been battling various enemies on a very rainy Blade Runner-y night. He drives into the foreground of this shot then enters the Bradbury Building."
See the Million Dollar pages on the Los Angeles Theatres site for a history and many, many photos. This 1918 vintage theatre, still at 3rd and Broadway, was Sid Grauman's first Los Angeles operation.
