Seduction of the Innocent [1961]
This series of screen-grabs show the young couple leaving a drug den.
I freaked out for a second, because this looks like the 'bohemian' front of my best friend's house in Santa Monica Canyon.
Santa Monica Pier is in the far distance.
I'm confused because the area shows a long line of small buildings....then a wide parking lot....then the beach.
today, it's either parking lot...then beach
or buildings...then beach.
but not all three (do you catch my drift?)
PCH + Parking Lot + Beach..........or PCH + Buildings + Beach

So where was the line of buildings (in the 1961 film) located that appear to be wedged between PCH and a large parking lot. (are the buildings gone?)
The other explanation would be that a large parking lot was removed (from the middle section) and the buildings that are there now, are the bldgs (now modified) that were in the film
