Sidney Poitier gets the flower girl treatment in guess who's coming to dinner, but the film's Willie Mays drop reinforced for me that there could've been some better T CM choices for celebrating the city of San Francisco (proper) in location shots - such as EXPERIMENT In TERROR for its sites which include VARNI'S ROARING TWENTIES and 1961 Candlestick Park:   ...and/or perhaps Dirty Harry whose visits include Kezar Stadium and ROARING 20's seediness:   |

A couple of other good SanFran on-location movies are "Woman on the Run" and "Bullitt," and both are really good movies too.

This one was supposed to simultaneously pander to, exploit and expose the "hippie movement" in San Francisco but to me it's always looked like the whole damn thing was filmed on Columbia's back lot in L.A. It's a lot of nonsense about a fake guru/cult leader who gets exposed by an "underground" paper. Name any hippie cliche and it's there. It's the movie that dares to ask the question "What happens after the trip?"

With your Frisco counterculture-sque post, I Love Melvin, I thought of Janis Joplin and Big Brother's invite to the Fairmont in Petulia: |

Julie Christie and Richard Chamberlain dancing to Big Brother and the Holding Company? Am I dreaming? Thank you so much for that.

For San Francisco realness you can't beat...  
It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955). |

It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955). They're apparently a common sighting in the Bay Area: |
