The Outside Man (1972)

French title: Un homme est mort
dir. Jacques Deray

French hitman Lucien Bellon (Jean-Louis Trintignant) arriving at his hotel – Beverly Hilton, 9876 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California.

The Kovacs’ mansion – 809 Hillcrest Road, Beverly Hills, California. The former home to Hollywood star William Powell was originally designed in 1926 by architectural firm Bennet and Haskell for silent film-era star Hobart Bosworth and his wife. Under Powell’s ownership, the home was expanded significantly and the style was transformed into Hollywood Regency by architect James E. Dolena. Additional stories were added to the main house. The grounds were developed by adding in a pool house and tennis courts. Formal gardens and water features were added.

Lucien narrowly escapes another hitman, Lenny (Roy Scheider) – the parking lot across the street from Beverly Hilton, Santa Monica Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California.

The Ralph’s parking lot where Lucien takes Mrs. Barnes (Georgina Engel) hostage – 14049 Ventura Boulevard, Sherman Oaks, California.

Mrs. Barnes apartment building – Medallion Apartments, 8833 W. Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California. It was located next to the Tower Records store, but it's the IAC building now..

Lenny sees Lucien and rushes to his car – 8850 W. Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California. For some reason, the store name is now spelled "Terner’s", not "Turner’s".

Lucien picks up the young hitchhiker – Vine Theatre, 6321 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, California.

Lucien enters the old Greyhound bus station – it stood at the corner of E. 6th and Los Angeles Streets, Los Angeles, California.

The bus station has since then moved to a different location but the building still stands, now occupied by a variety of small shops.

The Ace-Hi Club where Lucien meets Nancy (Ann-Margret) – 213 E. 5th Street, Los Angeles, California. That corner building has since been torn down.

Nancy takes Lucien to Venice – Ocean Front Walk at Market Street, Venice, California.

A policeman accompanies Mrs. Barnes’ son to a school bus – 8801 W. Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California. The Tower Records store has since then been closed.

Nancy’s apartment building – 1857 N. Wilton Place, Los Angeles, California.

The taxi driver’s apartment – 16 Virginia Court, Venice, California. The front of the house is now obscured by trees, and it’s very hard to get a good view of it.

Lenny shooting at Lucien – the ruins of the Pacific Ocean Park amusement pier, Venice, California. The pier was torn down in the mid-1970s.

The police car chasing Lenny – Dell Avenue at Howland Canal, Venice, California.

Lucien follows Jackie Kovacs (Angie Dickinson) – Robinson’s, 9900 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California. The store closed years ago, and the building lives on borrowed time – there are plans to build a condominium complex on the site.

Nancy and Lucien move into a motel where they wait for Lenny – Heritage Motel (now called East West Suites), 15485 Ventura Boulevard, Sherman Oaks, California.

Lucien’s friends arrive from Paris – Los Angeles International Airport, 1 World Way, Los Angeles, California.

Kovacs’ funeral – Holy Cross Cemetery, 5835 W. Slauson Avenue, Culver City, California.

Police cars chasing Lucien – 6th Street Bridge, Los Angeles, California. The concrete bridge was torn down in 2016, due to structural issues, and will be replaced by 2019.

Lucien stops – 4th Street Bridge, Los Angeles, California.
