I love it when Hollywood movies went out on location, thereby preserving iconic architecture, albeit only on film. This is a screen shot of Jack Carson and Doris Day flagging a cab in the parking lot of Schwab’s in “My Dream Is Yours” (1949.) The two things I like about this is a color shot of Schwab’s (and an even rarer side shot), and across the street we can see a “Glorifried Ham’n’Eggs (“From pan to mouth”). I’m guessing it was the same chain we see in the Tom Breneman building on Vine Street. I love the name “glorifried” – does anyone know if that was just a brand name, or was it a style of cooking ham and eggs?
I saw the same shot! Amazing how the corner building looks pretty much the same. I was curious what was next to it, the sign “Black Watch.” That space became a fairly notorious bar and club later on, so wondering what this 1948 incarnation might have been.

The Vine Street background grabs in this one are interesting to. Mildred Pierce has an earlier one from a different angle.
