Paul Small was my dad's agent back then; I cannot remember the cross street. I was probably around 11 or 12, early 50s. Paul Small was an excellent agency for character actors as they were a small company and paid more personal attention to their clients. My dad (Keenan Wynn) really loved being represented by them; a rare thing in the film business. I think my dad was with them for 10 or 12 years; another rare thing. ekwynn
How wonderful!! This is what I love about reading the comments sections on these videos. I have watched so many movies that both your father and grandfather starred in during the 1940's, 50's, 60's, and 70's. Your dad, Keenan, was a very diverse able actor. He did everything from musicals, to comedy, to high drama...and he was excellent in everyone of those films. You must be very proud of him.
Right. Well before it got smoggy and busy like it is today. I was out there not long ago and it still retains a lot of the charm, like the Chateau Mormont and various other nightspots (e.g. what used to be "Dino's Lodge", filming location of '77 Sunset Strip').
I am sure when someone from New York came out here then, they were blown away by the newness, clean streets and sunshine. What a special place it must have been.
It only looks clean on film, but on the scene it was not as clean. NYC would never be blown away by los Angeles, you get blown away by NYC. L.A. can't compare, so stop trying to compare.
You really can't compare the two. NYC is the epitome of urban life - with some glitter(at least back then) thrown it while the Sunset Strip was the ultimate in laid back desert chic, complete with mountains, ultra tall palm trees and BRIGHT sunshine! It depends on what is your "style".@@Thebrothaisback
The building at 1:09 still stands at the corner of Sunset and Sherbourne. 0:56 building is standing too 8619 Sunset Blvd 0:16 building is standing at 8633 Sunset Blvd
Those were the good old days for Los Angels and wonderful times to grow up and have fun and not to worry about bad things and safety issues like today. I love this video!
"Right before?" Try about 20+ YEARS! Hippies/drugs didn't appear until around '67. '67 in San Francisco was dubbed "The Summer of Love". The 'Frisco Scott MacKenzie(sp?) sang about in his landmark song "San Francisco", from that era.@@Awholekit
@@daleandrews367 what I was really saying is "look at the difference a little dope can do". I live down the street and it a nighmare...you ask somebody to move from by your ac because you can smell them and they are outside with a knife when you leave.
I was there in the 1940s and today, Nov. 10, 2018. Associated still exists in NY. The location was at one time the Lou Costello Building. Taller buildings, more cars today. There is much to be said for being elegant, even if a person has little money. Most of the people on the street appeared to be slobs today.
All of the buildings shown here were the homes of casting agencies; straight out of Raymond Chandler's "The Little Sister". Someone in a previous comment was wondering where "she" was going, and the answer is that she was job-hunting.
You're right about 1951, early spring. Most of the the car's plates are yellow on black issued from 1951-55 and are longer than the plates of today. 1947-50 plates were black on yellow. I have all these years in my CA plate collection. Since the 1947-50 plates came off the cars in early 1951 and the black 1951 plates first appeared that spring I believe since both plates are on the road at the same time it would have to be about March 1951 whenm this vid was made.
God would it be nice to walk down the street and not worry about people bugging you for money or worry about getting robbed! I went downtown where I live and I was approached by at least 4 people asking for money. The only person I gave to was an old man who was sitting on a bench and did not ask me. He had all his life possessions with him a bag full of clothes and an old sleeping bag. He looked into my eyes as I handed him a couple of bucks and said thank you and I will never forget that look and I had nothing but empathy for him. Everyone else that asked was young and able to work and I saw at least 4 signs help wanted.
Yep. Was probably able to buy a hamburger to "tide him over" until his was hungry again. Kudos, man. I did the same thing to a little homeless and starving dog in New Orleans' West Bank back in the '80's. I bought him a convenience store chili/cheese dog. He just "wolfed" it down without even tasting it, so I bought him another one and one for myself. Felt good about it to myself and remember it to this day, it was so poignant.@@michaelwest6238
I've noticed young homeless guys are getting bolder. One guy told me to go get him something to eat in a loud voice, and another guy asked me if I had a $20!
This is beautiful, a true time capsule of a simpler bygone time with less pollution, nicer people, nicer music and not the headaches we have today. I wish I could have been born during this time as this is the era that I connect with. Great upload and great music and in color; normally a lot of the photos from this era are in Black and White but seeing the world as it was in color seems like only yesterday. We forget how long ago this was.
I KNOW(italics here) my cars, especially from this era and I would have to concur. I saw a few very early '50's cars here and there along with a predominance of cars from the mid and late '40's.@@charliehaze9952
When I was a boy L.A.was well managed and clean.I lived near Echo Park and still remember the music from Aimee's Temple and an occasional picnic near the lake, though the big family get togethers were held in Griffiths Park.
Your grandfather was also a client of Paul's. I have a photo of Ed and Paul shaking hands, and then years later, after Paul had died he became a client of my father, Edgar Small. The two of them took exact pains to recreate that handshake in another photo. Very cool. ps
At 1:57 the grey building...that top floor was my office. It also was the penthouse that David Lee Roth of Van Halen fame used to live in in the early 80s.
I could watch this 1,000,000 and 1 time and never get tired. If ur really into this...cue up some late 40s early 50s Woody Herman or Les Brown (both west coast bands) and enjoy!
This is awesome...I like how everyone dressed up back then and the overall look of "quality" for everything. The architecture, the design of the cars ...everything looks artistic and thought out with great imagination. That is lacking today today as "technology" is a big part of design and creation. Technology has "proved a point' ...but at what cost ?/
unfortunately technology was to bring equality to the masses, however what is 'amassing' is the explosive population growth worldwide and everybody wants a bit of something. Never fear Mother Earth will normalize it again, but maybe the architecture we admire may not be there :(
Great film! It starts and ends at the exclusive Sunset Plaza section of the strip and travels east. Sunset Plaza more or less looks the same today and still has expensive shops.
Wonderful of you to put these up. We thank you for putting in the time and effort. One of my goals in life is to relocate out there but for now I am fine with my yearly visits. Looking forward to August 2012!
Good hearing from you and glad you identified yourself - I loved watching your dad in cinema - he as indeed a great actor - and words can't begin to describe the laughter your grandfather, Ed gave (and sometimes tears of sadness) in each of his performances, both stage and screen. How proud you must be of your lineage and the memories their mere names invoke! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and comments with us!
Always intriguing, Alison. For a second, I got the feeling that I was looking at something from what could have been like 500 years ago. But the footage is just about a few decades before you and I were born. I have walked and drove on Sunset hundreds of times being from Los Angeles. I just love reviewing what it looked like before I came into existence, and seeing what these L.A. people were doing on the Strip before I put my own mark on Sunset. These are our fellow Angelenos.
I see many people commented about the agencies for talent around that area which is known as Sunset Plaza Drive. At 11 seconds however the building which is repeatedly shown is La Rue a famous French restaurant patronized by the elite of the film industry and beyond. I ate there more than once with Myrna Loy when she came to LA from her residence in NYC during the 1960’s. Sadly all the elegant and first class restaurants are gone, replaced by cheap kitsch for the low class glitterati, nouveau riche and par venues. It was indeed a dramatically different world back then compared to the present. The decline began in the mid to late 1970’s and now is an intolerable place. Many have described LA as a place without heart or soul. I would mostly agree now. Being from New York I first visited LA IN 1957 and it seemed like paradise. I spent several summers of 3 months early 60’s and moved there mid 60’s. I left ‘75 to live abroad as I could see what was coming.
Such memories you must have! From what I have read, Myrna Loy was a classy gentlewoman who truly gave of herself. I grew up in Southern California as a teenager in the’60’s in Newport Beach. What you knew about Hollywood and environs was a different way of life than what I saw and experienced. I still felt safe being out late on Hollywood, Sunset or Van Nuys boulevards. My friends and I would go to Tiny Naylors or Hamburger Hamlet from time to time. However, nothing I knew compares to what you were fortunate enough to experience.
This isn't a class uniform, its not as though 1949 hits and everyone swiped over into a different outfit. I've seen this type of outfit from someone in 1917. Different hair of course, but surely the same and I do believe that striped white fabric stylization and nee length hemmed formal skirt has existed for centuries since this which is filmed in summer of 1949.
Great Era! People lived comfortably on $1.50 an hour or less. I started working as a teenager in the 60's @ 1.35 and it was great to have spending money. Many of those cars were cheaper than a " beater " today. It's all relevant, I guess. My first apartment in 1969 was $55 a month. My first car, 1962 Ford Falcon was $200 used in 1969.
I believe that these scenes were the result of some unused footage that came from a twenty five minute documentary movie called “Welcome To Southern California” that was released in 1953 but had actually been shot about a year earlier. A few shots from this footage were fortunate enough to make it into the movie and can be briefly seen a little ways before the seven minute mark that is available on RUclips.
Is anyone here old enough to remember the TV program "77 Sunset Strip?" I read somewhere they used what used to be - or WOULD be - "Dino's(Dean Martin) Lodge" on the strip for their filming location, or 'ground zero', as it were.
Hi Malcolm, my mother and father grew up and went to high school in the mid to late 50s. They said things in society began to change when JFK was assassinated on...

How I would have loved to have lived there way back then !
Thankyou for sharing that great piece of film !

Very cool.People back then had class. Seems that kind of elegance is sadly long gone.
You can always suggest to fashion designers to bring back that kind of fashion
loved the way women dressed in those days...so beautiful!!!
She's the real american Coco Chanel
You should have seen the nudists!
Their dresses seem to fit so well for some reason. Men's suits and hair was a lot better too.

Do you remember when this was all orange groves as far as the eyes could see??
@Jon MacDonald
Yes I do, orange and avocado groves.
Loved the 1952 Henry J and the 1950 Studebaker convertible, maroon with a white top. The Dior New Look was introduced in 1948.
I would love to time travel back....thanks for allowing me to do so if even for a few minutes!
Late 40s possibly 50s amazing wish i got to witness such a awesome era in hollywood also the baby boom era best financial state Americans were inn

You were born in ‘60-‘61 huh? San Gabriel Valley Arcadia, Ca
Right about the color. Really brings it to life, while retaining a certain sepia tone and texture about it at the same time!
This video not shot in the late '40s. There are early '50s cars in the video, especially a '51 Nash. So, it's really a 1950s video.
That's what I was thinking. Early 50s, not 40s. Still, nice to see it.
If that is so, can't fool everyone.
Agree. '51 or '52 Packard at 0:43
then mexicans came
@@bradleysmall2230 nope. then the 60's came and blacks were allowed to run rampant

Yea...some of the cars driving on Sunset says you are correct. It's at least 1951 here.

Fantásticas y bellísimas imágenes de Los Ángeles y con una música de fondo bonita . Cordialmente desde Córdoba, España.
This makes me happy! Oh to go back there...
It’s strange that even I can remember some of those old buildings on Sunset. I had forgotten about them. I moved to LA in 1984.
Lovely piece of nostalgia. The colours in the film look like new not faded at all. Thanks for sharing.
I lived in LA from 1973-1990 and hated it.. I. Think. I would have enjoyed living there then.

Such a great movie....it just amazes me how clean it looks!!..you go there today, and with al the new buildings it looks like dirt..
.32 Woman dressed properly with gloves! Nice! Also,, I think the year is '51. I think I saw a '51 Chevrolet as well as a '51 Mercury.
Was nice back in those days.
Loved the music and the film. Thanks for the nostalgic trip.
I agree 1952-3. No smog yet and saw a few parking spaces! Must have been paradise
Sounds like Benny Goodman's phenomenally sweet clarinet.
About 1950. Saw some 1950 cars in the wonderful video clip.
Thankyou for your video and the great background music. The music took me back in time. Once again I appreciate it.
Everything's orderly & classy
The cars were phenomenonal. What a 🎁
So Wonderful. I love that you find all these old pics of LA. Wish I could have lived through that time....
At 1:57 the grey building...that top floor was my office. It also was the penthouse that David Lee Roth of Van Halen fame used to live in in the early 80s.

come Ian.. you don't really believe this guy, do you?
Great quality! Seems almost contemporary until you see the cars and the people. Thanks for sharing another amazing gem.

Saw a 51 Nash and Mercury, so 1951 is the earliest this could be.
Steve Applegate ..saw a 1949 ford.
Yes. I also guess '51. I saw a "51 Chevy. I also saw ten cars that I want! Right Now! Dammit! .... Starting with a nice '49 Buick.
Yes, some of the cars are early 50's in the film. Saw a 51 Merc and several 49-50 Fords. More like early 50's but still nice to see.
The skies are so clear
Very good color and camera work. Looks like it might be 16mm Kodachrome reversal film.
Wow! Now you can walk faster than the cars ! I can’t remember the last time traffic was that light or the streets that clean

I thought I just saw a fifty-one or fifty-two Cadillac, although most of the cars were from the forties. I'll bet this was filmed around '52 or '53.
Thank you🙏🙏
Love that music.
Your Dad was a Fabulous Actor!
I'm old enough to remember when they had ashtrays on elevators, Dr.'s offices etc. before smoking restrictions.
So many beautiful stylish old buildings. Why did they have to knock them down to build the modern tat.
A lot of those buildings are still there.
Let's go down to the filling station and get a bottle of pop.
Heck yeah! Let's go!

All those old automobiles, it looks like today in Havana !
what priceless pictures..notice how everyone looked healthy and slim!
boy i wish i could go back in time
Great footage, early fifties though. 1951 Chevrolet and some spinner Ford's went by. Nice print and music ☺
Early 1950s Nice.Thanks.
That lady who crosses the street was so obviously in a 50’s dress
This isn't a class uniform, its not as though 1949 hits and everyone swiped over into a different outfit. I've seen this type of outfit from someone in 1917. Different hair of course, but surely the same and I do believe that striped white fabric stylization and nee length hemmed formal skirt has existed for centuries since this which is filmed in summer of 1949.
The cars look great!
me too i love all the vintage 40s cars were so big
I love the woman's elegant gait.
Great Era! People lived comfortably on $1.50 an hour or less. I started working as a teenager in the 60's @ 1.35 and it was great to have spending money.
Many of those cars were cheaper than a " beater " today. It's all relevant, I guess. My first apartment in 1969 was $55 a month. My first car, 1962 Ford Falcon was $200 used in 1969.
Newest car I saw is a 52 Packard at 0:43, so it might've been late summer of 51. Nice clip!
Just GR8 !
Early fifties. At least one of the cars shows that.
Beautiful places.
and it's awesome! :)

Hi Malcolm, my mother and father grew up and went to high school in the mid to late 50s. They said things in society began to change when JFK was assassinated on...
@2:15 is the intersection of Sunset Blvd and Hilldale Ave. The building is still there and recognizable.
I think I saw a bunch of early 1950's cars in some of the film clips! Some of the clips were in the "40's!
