A little humor here by the the Rockford Files writers... The hospital Rocky is taken to is called "PAINE HOSPITAL" in reality it is really Los Angeles' Good Samaritan Hospital on Wilshire Blvd.

This filming location was in Burbank California
The house address is 5356 as seen on the mailbox but
the street is unknown. This area was probably all knocked down for
upscale housing since the filming.

ReplyDeleteIs the mystery mook with the hair Frank Vincent, who played Billy Bats in "Goodfellas"? He has David Chase connections—was a regular on "The Sopranos."
ReplyDeleteThat little house still stands at 5356 Chesebro Rd, Agoura Hills, CA. The right side got a second floor but it is clearly the one as the neighbor's houses match too. X
ReplyDeleteThe scene where Charlie's jet lands is actually runway 13R (now 14R) at Boeing Field in Seattle.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the inspiration for the great ending scene, accompanied by the Willie Nelson song Heartache of a Fool, with the pickup truck driving out of Hollywood into the hills into the sunset? Wonderful scene.
