Twentieth Century-Fox’s production of Ernest Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises” had a very solid 7-week run at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre from late August to mid October 1957, beating the preceding picture, “An Affair To Remember” by a full week. What amazes me about this photo is how clean and clear Hollywood Boulevard looks. I count a total of eight people in the forecourt. These days, I think you’d have to stand out front of Grauman’s at three o’clock in the morning to find the forecourt that empty.
