My noir hours in L.A.
Friday April 7, I went to see a couple noir cops 'n' robbers flicks at the Egyptian and was surpised to see and hear James Ellroy guest hosting. He's a poet! It was the first night of a noir series so it was well-attended by weirdoes
The two movies were both set in mid-century Los Angeles (and Glendale) so it was quite interesting. The first movie CRIME WAVE was quite to my liking and the hosts were full of info as they did the commentary for the upcoming DVD release.
The next day, I went to Philippe's The Original, home of the French Dip Sandwich http://www.philippes.com/ had a turkey sandwich and a cup of coffee. (Actually, I had something new, I dropped some Philippe's hot mustard in my coffee mug! A Philippe's exclusive, I recommend it.) Eating at Philippe's put me back in mid-century L.A.
