This film was made while the filmmaker, Robert W. Fentress, was enrolled at the Southern California Film Institute. The film was shown at the Chinese Theatre as part of the LA Film Festival. It was the "opener" for the feature film, "SISTERS", which was bought by AIP.
An interesting thing about old Los Angeles film footage is the dark lines in the center of the roads in each lane. Cars back then leaked A LOT of oil, and compared to today, I can only imagine how bad the roads were after the "first rain of the season" - say in October after it hadn't rained for half a year.
Before the Hollywood sign there was the Crazy Water Texas sign... It's said that's where the idea for the Hollywood sign came from... Just a fun fact.... and remember, "Every home needs crazy crystals!"
Been there many times. Never heard wind whistle like that. Sounds like an old western movie SFX. Alcoholism happened and is still happening. Too bad there are no old videos about it from the 70's.

Looks like the first music video ever made.

It's not Hollywood, it's Hollyweird.
It was actually "Hollywoodland" originally 🤷♂️
Good grief Charlie Brown
