I saw the film ANGEL'S FLIGHT when KCET aired it as part of a celebration of the re-opening of Angel's Flight in it's current
incarnation, before I was schooled on Bunker Hill history. Imdb curiously lists the film as both in black & white and color. (?)
Other tidbits from imdb say that the film was shot in 1962, but released in 1965. Apparently the film stopped shooting
because they had no film permits and it got shut down, which is why it's only 77 minutes and has an "abrupt" ending.
(But effective, one person notes.)
There is also a theme song ("Angel's Flight") sung by Ann Richards, but I doubt it was the same woman who became
Governor of Texas!
I did remember that the one person in this film people would recognize is a small role played by Rue McClanahan.
(Billed as "Rhue" in the film.)
A month ago, someone posted a 72 minute version of the film on youtube:
