I wish I had more information about this photo than I do, which is to say that I have no information other than an educated guess that it was taken some time during the first 20 years of Hollywood film-making. But I thought it gave us an interesting glimpse into how flimsy those sets were. This looks like a line of stores shoved together to look like a shopping street for the purposes of filming who-knows-what movie. From this angle we can see that they are just that: facades. And of course, the more cynical among us might even say it’s an accurate reflection of the entire Hollywood macrocosm!
