"Scenes From a Mall"

Woody Allen and Bette Midler go the the Beverly Center in Paul Mazursky's "Scenes From a Mall" (Touchstone Pictures, 1991). They pick up sushi and a surfboard, fight, make up, fight again and go to see "Salaam Bombay." 

 

Thanks to Sam Pocker for noting the Beverly Center as a location in the film. While they did do some filming there, most of the mall interior shots were done at the Stamford Town Center, Stamford, CT. Some mall storefronts, and evidently the theatre we see, were sets built at Kaufman-Astoria Studios in Queens.  

 

Woody buys a yogurt and we see the marquee of the mall's theatre in the background. 

 

Bette and Woody come back to the foodcourt later to pick up the surfboard they left behind. A quick look at the marquee lets you know the theatre is NOT the one at Beverly Center -- what we see is only a 4-plex.  

 

In the theatre watching "Salaam Bombay" with the surfboard. They had fought and now make up and have sex on the floor. 

 

A nice look at the studio set marquee as a crowd exits the theatre.
