"Larceny"

Looking west toward the stagehouse of the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, 300 W. Green St. It's a shot from "Larceny" (Universal-International, 1948).

Thanks to Riich Kay for this screenshot as well as eleven more Pasadena views from the film on the Noirish Los Angeles post #60959. He notes that we start the film in Miami Beach but about twelve minutes in shift our location to "Mission City."  

George Sherman directed. The film stars John Payne, Joan Caulfield, Dan Duryea, and Shelley Winters. The cinematography was by Irving Glassberg.

See the page about the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more photos of the building and information about its history.
