That panoramic scene of the city at 1:26 is downtown Los Angeles looking N/E (from Olympic and Hope) and panning N/W towards Broadway. Many of those buildings are still there and the two parking lots you see at the bottom of the screen are now buildings. So cool to see.

Laundering money & larceny is immoral, as well as the violent & competitive masculine behavior. These horrible circumstances, among others, still exists today. Hurting others is a direct link to hurting yourself & the collective. Fortunately in time, all evil practices will dissolve. Many of us will evolve into a new ascension of compassion & oneness who will shift to a blissful & beautiful world of spiritual conscious connectedness & unconditional love! 💞 Namaste 🙏🏼 KEEP THE FAITH!💞

It is actually a 61 minute film, the first six minutes or so are cut off. It is available on line elsewhere. Not a bad flick about friendship.

Great Director

The dry cleaner should have gone to Don Corleone for help. “And if by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you.” Of course he would be in debt to the Don and give him free dry cleaning for life, and not too much starch in the collars

Patsy Ruth Miller's last film. She quit Hollywood at the ripe old age of 27. She was a doll, and had a long life after films.

[@davidqualls7986]

She made 2 more films, in 1951 and 1978.
