2;49 uh, NO, Hollywood Blvd. in those days would NOT be "an hour up the road". Roads were ROUGH. Flying would be half an hour. Road time probably TWO hours at least, provided all went well.

Thank you for your comment. Here’s a link to the full movie. I’ll see what more I can find. I remember reading that these movies were kind of pumped out in volume back in those days. The studio might plan a dozen or more, so I’m guessing details on each may be lighter than today’s bigger budget world. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qK9mqraUm9jbcas.htmlsi=zkUnZeaY9EqTg6Jl

Interesting Video. For a little bit more information, The Smith Cliff house was built on an ancient Indian Site designated as ORA(Orange County)- 3. Sot, prior to the sale of the property to Benderson, I as an Archaeologist, excavated portions of the property to recover some of the artifacts. Our crew really enjoyed being on the property, and after the days work we would sit at the Gazebo and drink some wine before going home.

Thank you for this video. My cousin, Lloyd Martin, owned a house and a motel on Seacliff Drive in Laguna Beach from about the 1940's - 1960's. I was there a lot as a child. I've only heard about Pancho Barnes in connection with the restaurant and bar she ran next door to the air base where Chuck Yeager flew when he broke the sound barrier. The General (I don't remember his name, and I probably have his military rank wrong) who was head of the base thought Pancho was a bad influence on the pilots and tried to get her shut down. She fought him every step of the way. I didn't know about her connection to Laguna Beach. I'm surprised you didn't mention Three Arches Bay, where the sword fight between Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone was filmed for "Captain Blood," in 1935. I hope you do more about the history of Laguna Beach and the early Hollywood community. I'd love to know if any old Hollywood houses from that era survive. It looks like bland, upscale suburbia now, from what we see in your film. I haven't been there in years.

@@creativestrategyintersecti6268 The quaint, tiny motel that Lloyd and Pearl owned and ran on Seacliff Drive is probably long gone. I don't remember how many units there were, but it had kitchens with china dishes and they may have rented small apartments by the week or month. I was last there in 1961. Their home was further south, in the hills above the highway and the beach. I don't remember the last time I was there, but it may also be gone. I have a photo of myself at 4-5 years old in the early 1950's sitting in a swing on the beach in Laguna. I knew someone in the 1980's who played on those swings as a kid in the 1970's and he confirmed that as of the 1980's, the swings were still there. I think it was a public playground for kids.

I would be interested if you could find out information on the property known as Twin Points, which divides Crescent Bay with Shaws Cove. My late dad's high school buddy, Ray Contino, owned the property up until about 10 years ago (he passed away, and his children sold the property for $45M). As I understand it, it was given to Ray's wife, Phyllis Contino, by her grandmother. This would have probably been in the 1950's or 1960's, because our family would visit the Continos there in the late 60's and early 70's. Ray let me do some photography there, and on their private beach, in the mid-80's.

Glad you enjoyed it! Funny thing is that Laguna Beach gets a lot of flack for resisting change to a fault. But one silver lining is that it truly is a little time capsule when it comes to history and preservation. One example is that my partner is currently restoring the oldest home in Laguna Beach - built in 1886 and known as The Captain’s House due to its prominent point location and high perch on a hill. Newport has been our more progressive sister city to the North - where much has and continues to change. So happy to read your note.
