It must have been, given the red jacket MJ is wearing. And it looks like it was outside. According to the wiki page for the Thriller video: "It was filmed at the Palace Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles, the junction of Union Pacific Avenue and South Calzona Street in East Los Angeles, and at the Angeleno Heights neighborhood at 1345 Carroll Avenue." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson's_Thriller_(music_video) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

There's a "Kinney Shoes" sign visible in the photo. The Palace was part of the Orpheum vaudeville circuit (referenced in the musical Gypsy) until 1926, when they built a newer theater down the street. You can still see the Orpheum name above the theatre marquee today, and if there's an old theatre in your town with that name, it likely was built and operated by the vaudeville circuit. The Orpheum circuit merged with the Keith-Albee circuit to become KAO. KAO then was combined with Joseph Kennedy's Film Booking Offices of America, under majority ownership of RCA, to become the RKO Corporation. The "O" in RKO stood for "Orpheum" (Radio-Keith-Orpheum). The film studio was a subsidiary of the larger corporation. The blonde man with a mustache Marc Christian, who sued Hudson's estate, and became tabloid fodder for much of the late 1980s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Great detective work. I know where that theater is located in downtown L.A. I used to walk right by it on my way to get a bus. I never knew Thriller had been filmed there. Learn something new everyday! The photos I selected for the Summer Under the Stars honorees involve the honoree and a loved one (spouse or companion) that they seem happy to be with, even if a breakup or divorce occurred later. This was the only photo I could find of Hudson & Christian together, where it seemed like they were out in public having a good time. The fact that Hudson is meeting Jackson and shaking his hand gives it a little extra value! Link to post Share on other sites

TopBilled Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 I recommend ATLANTIC CITY. It's one of his best. It's nice to see him have such a good role in an "A" film at that stage of his career. I wish THE SWIMMER would have been included. It's my ultimate favorite Burt Lancaster performance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
YourManGodfrey Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Atlantic City was a really good film. It surprised me when I watched it. I haven’t seen all of his films, but I love every Lancaster performance. It’s hard to find an actor that delivers his lines quite like Lancaster did. He was so intense and precise at the same time. Sweet Smell of Success with Lancaster and Curtis is some of the best acting you will ever see in film. I’ve been watching a lot of Criterion films lately, so I’m hoping to at least catch Elmer Gantry. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet Smell of Success with Lancaster and Curtis is some of the best acting you will ever see in film. I’ve been watching a lot of Criterion films lately, so I’m hoping to at least catch Elmer Gantry. A few weeks ago I started looking online for some of Lancaster's films from the 70s, since I feel that is a somewhat neglected and overlooked period of his career. I found TWILIGHT'S LAST GLEAMING (1977) on YouTube. A decent print. It's long, about two and a half hours. But the concept is intriguing, and Burt leads an all-star cast. I was glad I watched it. He never lost his star quality or that intensity. I think what I love about him most is he was an unabashed liberal and he didn't seem to mind if people didn't share his political beliefs or personal convictions. Those beliefs and convictions fueled his passion and they're what make all his performances so memorable, even roles in lesser vehicles. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
