------- I am doing some research on the HOLLYWOOD or HOLLYWOODLAND sign as a sort of icon for Hollywood--the movie industry and its milieu. As part of that research I am looking for movies and novels that contain significant scenes involving the sign (in addition to the hundreds of films that simply use a shot of the sign to establish place). Off the top of my head all I can think of is The Couch Trip in which Walter Matthau threatens to jump from the sign and one of James Ellroy's Los Angeles novels which works the razing of the "LAND" into its plot. I'd be grateful for your collective wisdom.
