Ralph Story’s Los Angeles: On the Move!
- This is a past program
The UCLA Film & Television Archive presents classic film and contemporary cinema in the Hammer's Billy Wilder Theater.
Register at cinema.ucla.edu to attend this in-theater screening.
Join historian Alison Martino of Vintage Los Angeles for a celebration of the beloved local television series Ralph Story’s Los Angeles, which ran from 1964 to 1970. The retrospective features rare excerpts and two complete episodes exploring the city through its unique and, in some instances, forgotten modes of transportation. Topics will include a detailed history of the 5-cent tram on the Venice boardwalk, a look at Pacific Electric Red Cars, a trip by boat through the Los Angeles sewers, and more.
This event is made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment.
