Dear Screen-L Subscribers: I am researching representations of the Pacific Coast in movies set in Los Angeles and looking for the following: 1.)A very early film clip of Charlie Chaplin (or Buster Keaton -- but Chaplin preferred) at the beach. Any sequences come to mind? Any ideas where to look? 2.) Suggestions for significant sequences to view (e.g. Norman Maine's demise in "A Star Is Born;" angels gathering at dusk in "City of Angels;" the Streisand/Redford walk along Malibu beach in "The Way We Were;" Julian visiting his Swedish-born pimp in "American Gigolo," etc.) Your help is most appreciated.
