The High Tower Apartments have a noir connection, too. They figure prominently in Robert Altman's 1973 remake of Raymond Chandler's The Long Good Bye with Elliott Gould assaying an extra laid-back Phillip Marlowe. They stand in as Marlowe's residence with the camera tracking through the property several times with the requiste kooky neighbors, his cat coming and going through an open window and a crew of baddies appearing at his door to deliver a noir beating. And yes, the elevator's featured too.
