Hollywood Central Hardware, 1636 N. Cherokee Avenue, a few doors down from Steve Boardner's. Wally White was the long time manager until the fire destroyed the store. It was a first class, customer friendly hardware store and a fixture in Hollywood for decades.

This was shot just north of Dockweiler Beach. I had it in my Surfridge Documentary but it's just a few shots where you see the Playa Del Rey bluffs with the houses in the background. The oil wells you see are the ones furthest south in Venice on what's now the Marina peninsula. Here's a link to the scene I uploaded to Youtube.

So I wonder where this beach was.



The film's largely forgotten, though there's a lot of pedigree behind it. It's based on an Irving Wallace novel, inspired by The Kinsey Report, and it's detailing of the sex lives of 4 women. It was directed by George Cukor, Leonard Rosenman the score, Orry-Kelly the costumes and was produced by Richard F. and Darryl D. Zanuck.

And it has a lot of well-known people in the cast -- Claire Bloom, Jane Fonda, Shelley Winters, Glynis Johns (these 4 women each have a sexual hangup in the film ranging from frigidity to nymphomania). There's also Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Ray Danton, Ty Hardin, Andrew Duggan, John Dehner, Chad Everett, Cloris Leachman, Lesley Anne Warren (a young child) and Roy Roberts. Harold J. Stone is also in the film, a character actor you'd definitely recognize from dozens of movies and TV series. He got a Supporting Actor Golden Globe nomination for this movie. So did George Cukor (Director) and Glynis Johns (Best Actress). The film also did for Best Film - Drama.

The film is also in color, by the way.

Sometimes I hate this place.

Now I'm craving an Orange Julius!

Seems all the Orange Julius's (and Dairy Queen / Orange Julius locations) in the LA area are permanently closed.

I know the "secret recipe" but don't have the ingredients to make my own.

Grrrrrrr.
