Out of the Past (1947)

dir. Jacques Tourneur

Out of the Past is one of the most venerated San Francisco noirs, though practically none of it was shot in the city. The only exception is the moment when Jeff Bailey (Robert Mitchum) comes to visit Meta Carson (Rhonda Fleming.) The cab drives up Broadway Street and stops at Himmelmann Place.

Dark Passage

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

dir. Milos Forman

McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) arrives in the Oregon Department of Corrections, 2575 Center Street NE, Salem, Oregon

The hospital - J Building, Oregon State Hospital, 2600 Center Street NE, Salem, Oregon. The old J Building was demolished in 2010 and is now replaced with a new building. Some props from the movie are featured in the new Museum of Mental Health located on the premises.

McMurphy hijacks a bus with mental patients and drives through Salem - the 400 block of Court Street, Salem, Oregon. That particular portion of the street changed so much over the years, it's almost unrecognizable now. The building in the background is the Reed Opera House that was a department store at the time.

McMurphy takes the patients for a fishing trip - Depoe Bay, Oregon, "the smallest harbor in the world," located on U.S. Route 101 next to the Pacific Ocean.

Strangers on a Train (1951)

dir. Alfred Hitchcock

There's an excellent write-up by Nandor Bokor on the Connecticut and New York locations from the film. The locations below are for the Washington, DC portion of the movie.

The opening scene shows the cars driving through the arch where is now the entrance to the Union Station Metro Station, 701 First St., NE..

I was unable to locate Guy Haines' house with "420 NW" address. It was probably filmed on the Warners' studio backlot.

Guy walks with a police lieutenant by the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, 701 West Basin Drive, SW..

Guy sees the ominous Bruno on the steps of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial.

Bruno stalks Guy at the National Gallery of Art, 4th Constitution Avenue, NW.
