Grauman’s Chinese Theater showing the ultimate LA film noir, “Chinatown” (1974)
I don’t often post photos of Los Angeles from the 1970s buy this one was too “meta” to pass up. The ultimate LA film noir, “Chinatown” playing at the most iconic LA theater, Grauman’s Chinese on Hollywood Boulevard in 1974, where it played for 8 weeks. Plus it’s in color. Plus those Volkswagon Combi Vans parked out front – they’re so 70s, aren’t they?

Thanks, that is a fine colour picture of Grauman’s. I had a short holiday in Hollywood in ’76, so this is close enough to bring back memories.
This was renamed to Man’s in 1973
You’re right, it was renamed Mann’s, but it’ll always be Grauman’s Chinese Theatre to me.
