The Main Street Gym, Angel's Flight and "Kiss Me Deadly"

I was kicking back this morning with a hot cup of coffee looking for something good on TV and as I was changing the channel I ran across this scene from the old Main Street Gym in Los Angeles from the Film Noir movie "Kiss Me Deadly"a 1955 movie starring Ralph Meeker as P.I. Mike Hammer. It was short scene but I'm always on the lookout for anything regarding the old gym. The movie itself wasn't much to talk about and I watched only because I thought they might show the gym again. They didn't.

Also making a brief appearance in the movie was Downtown Los Angeles' famed "Angel's Flight"
