Here is a LA Times ad for the original run of “It’s a Wonderful Life” in January 1947. The film was not a financial success in its initial release.

Still showing first run films. Amazing. Must be hotel guests only.

I’d like to know how Placido Domingo’s agent pitched his role as the voice of a dog in this film. Maybe La Scala was booked.

kencmcintyre commented about Clune's Auditorium on Sep 30, 2008 at 7:27 pm

What bugs me is that I was in LA for a year before it was torn down and never checked it out. Lost opportunity. Same for the Hippodrome on Main Street.

kencmcintyre commented about Town Theatre on Sep 30, 2008 at 7:26 pm

They were doing work on this building today, so I took a look. I assume this new building replaced the theater building, which was demolished. I don’t think there was any reuse of the old building.
