Courtesy of Vintage Los Angeles, one of my favorite online resources, take a drive down Sunset Boulevard around the time that Rita Hayworth filmed Gildaat Columbia Studios. Columbia was located at Sunset and Gower in the 1940s, so this is a stretch of the street that you would indeed share with Rita and other stars. I love to think of them driving to work at the studios when I watch this.
Of course I love their inclusion of a Hitchcockian soundtrack, too.

Oh, this is wonderful stuff, Kimberly! Thanks for posting this! Have you seen the Voice of the Globe video on TCM about California, featuring a trip to a ranch outside of town (owned by Lou Carillo, The Cisco Kid's sidekick)? It's terrific! Kay www.moviestarmakeover.blogspot.com
