Stanwyck apt. + Sanders apt. location
I have seen another movie that used the same outdoor shots with those two apartment buildings. Where are they located?

The two apartments are at the intersection of San Marino St. and S. Serrano Ave. in Los Angeles. Stanwyck's apartment is at 939 S. Serrano and Sanders' is at 3400 San Marino. I found them by spending a stupid amount of time on Google Earth. What other movie did you see them in?
shareYou are too kind for words. Thank you.
I had been racking my brain trying to think of who starred in the other movie I saw which would give me a lead, but I just can't think of it. As I remember it the location involved the building that they used for George Sanders (3400 San Marino), but did not use the Stanwyck building. It was a black and white film. They used a studio for the interior, naturally, and it was a big, gorgeous apartment. I thought of Elliott Gould in The Long Goodbye (any movie with a cat, but that was in color) but I don't think so. I can't for the life of me remember anything else. I'm sure in the middle of the night 6 months from now it will come to me lol

You're welcome, but I have to admit I did it for myself. The minute I saw that corner location with the "T" intersection I was sure I could find it. Turned out I used to live in the neighborhood, about 5 blocks north of there, although I've never actually been to that location. I'll pop over there sometime to give it a look. It's amazing what you can do from your own home with Google Earth and Maps. Anyway, after I found the location and submitted it to IMDb I saw your post and it was a pleasure to be able to give you an answer. It'll be a bonus if you can ever remember the other movie that used the location.
shareWhen I looked at the Google map street level view, I was sad to see that those apartment buildings seem to be gone. And the neighborhood itself seems to be not nearly the class that it used to be. Time marches on :(

They are definitely still there. The Sanders building is a bit obscured by some large trees, and the Stanwyck building no longer has the cover on its front walkway and some bushy palms hide the front, but there's no question that the buildings still stand.
shareThanks for looking it up. I waste a lot of time on Google Maps too.
I believe Jane Fonda's character in The Morning After lived in West Hollywood. there are a lot of those type of triplexes out there.
You're welcome. I got a big kick out of finding it. Running down these LA locations is a little hobby of mine. I'm guessing you caught this movie in December during Stanwyck month on TCM. I have it on my DVR and will watch it again sometime.
shareA shame about the security fence now in front of George Sanders's apartment building. A sign of the times, I suppose. I must say that one thing I love about old movies is the conspicuous absence of the security and privacy mechanisms that abound today.

There is actually an apartment for rent for over a half a million dollars.
