Highlights
  • North Spring Street & Ord Street - This intersection was the shooting location for the tragic climax of Roman Polanski’s Chinatown, one of the greatest films noir ever made. A staple of Hollywood cinema since the 1940s, film noir blended the cynical, hardboiled American crime fiction of the 20s and 30s with striking, moody cinematography inspired by German Expressionist filmmaking. Film noir stories often follow highly flawed protagonists who find themselves embroiled in conspiracies and complicated investigations far beyond their reach.

Good times full of laughter - Driving past the location and then the narrator saying “pause here” then listen to a 3 minute explanation without being near the location. Super glad I knew area well which allowed us to double back to location frequently. Lots of giggles and laughter. Amazing experience since 2/3 are unable to do traditional tours.
