Dennis Hopper takes a drive down Broadway in "The Last Days of Frankie the Fly" (Millenium Films, 1996). On the left we get the Cameo and Arcade theatres. See the pages about them on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more information and photos inside and out. On the Cameo marquee: "Happy Holida s."
Dennis is an aspiring screenwriter just trying to
survive while working as a low-level errand guy for local thug Michael
Madsen. Daryl Hannah is a
porno actress and hooker hoping to stay off the drugs and Keifer
Sutherland is a harried
porno director who likes to play the horses. Peter Markle directed. The cinematography was by Phil Parmet.
The film uses many great L.A. locations including the Arts District, the L.A. River and Union Station. Thanks to Sean Ault for noting the theatres in the film. The producer was Elie Samaha, currently the lead partner in the group that owns Yamashiro restaurant, the Chinese and Dolby theatres in Hollywood, and the buildings on Hollywood Blvd. that were formerly the Vogue and Fox.
