Introduction
We begin our Los Angeles filming locations tour with the 1976 Charlie's Angels episode Target Angels, featuring a visit to the iconic Beverly Hills filming location office building which served as the Angels headquarters. Next, we visit a favorite Our Gang / The Little Rascals real-life filming location used in the 1934 movie Honky-Donkey at an alley just off Venice Blvd near Culver City on the Westside of LA.
The historic Westwood Village neighborhood is the next stop on this month's filming locations tour as Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly take us for a ride in their 1933 comedy movie Beauty and the Bus.

Abbott and Costello - Dance With Me, Henry (1956)
The Plot
This is the last movie made by the famous comedy team of Abbott and Costello.
Bud and Lou own a kid's amusement park and a local group of gangsters try to muscle their way in to the operation.
A Rarity - Abbott And Costello Filming On Location!
Most outdoor scenes in Abbott and Costello movies were filmed on the Universal Studios backlot, but Dance With Me, Henry was an independent production. As a result, we get rare looks at Bud and Lou on location in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles. This is the same historic neighborhood where most of the Our Gang / The Little Rascals movies were filmed 30 years earlier.
Wrapping up this month's Los Angeles filming locations tour, this then and now video identifies these mid-century landmarks before the neighborhood transitioned from single-family homes to modern apartment buildings.

White Town - Your Woman (Music Video) (1997)
The Plot
This music video was filmed in the style of one of those old 1920s silent movies and features a love triangle!
A Visit To The Small City Of Derby, England
Jyoti Mishra IS White Town, and when I reached out to him for help with this filming locations project, he enthusiastically endorsed the research and helped me find one of the three locations that I had been unable to identify on my own.
A special "bonus extra" to this month's filming locations tour, come with me to the real-life music video filming locations for Your Woman, then and now, in the city of Derby, England. Surprisingly, many of these 1997 locations look exactly the same today!
