"Three Billboards Not Outside Los Angeles, California"
At the May Co. building, 1950....an Ida Wyman photo (we just saw her work in the San Antonio, TX. "Transette" picture).....Cresta Blanca was one of the first California mass-market wines.
4100 block of W. Olympic Blvd., 1950.

It seems to me we may have seen this one before, but I searched every which way and nothing came up....apologies if it has been posted.....

The photo was taken in 1981 by Grant Rusk, it's titled "4th St., Los Angeles".....clearly the billboard had not survived from 1936 when the picture was released (it's not a location where a billboard would have been feasible anyway) so I figured it had to be for a film shoot...I ran "Love Before Breakfast" on IMDB, scrolled down to the "movie connections" tab, found this:
Pennies from Heaven (1981)
Billboard shown.
To get the shot Rusk would have been standing right around the street light....
500 Mateo St.....the building now houses the trendy Bavel restaurant and Verve Coffee.....
