dir. John Schlesinger

San Bernardino Arms where Tod Hackett (William Atherton) meets wannabe actress Faye Greener (Karen Black) – this was a studio set built on the Paramount backlot and was modeled on the Parva-Sed Apta Apartments at 1817 N. Ivar Avenue, where author Nathaniel West stayed in 1935 and where he began writing The Day of the Locust.

The movie studio – Paramount Studios, 5451 Marathon Street, Los Angeles, California. This is the Bronson Avenue gate. You can no longer get close to the famous gate (unless you have a business at the studio or book a tour), it can only be admired from a distance.
