Bush and Jones |
Barbra Streisand
causes a collision simply by crossing Bush Street at Jones at the outset
of the screwball comedy, What's Up Doc. This is one of those films
in which the City is more than just a location, it's a living, breathing
character. Starring Streisand, Ryan O'Neil, and San Francisco, this 1972
Peter Bagdonovich film is wacky and fun. See locations including Nob Hill,
North Beach, Chinatown and more as Barbra and Ryan match wits against spies,
jewel thieves and other denizens, all in possession of identical plaid
bags. This was Madelyn Kahn's debut feature. Among What's Up Doc locations
are the concrete stairs at Alta Plaza, which
remain scarred from its use in the famous car chase involving a VW bug,
a Chinese dragon, a taxicab, a limousine,
a convertible, and an ice cream cart. A partial list of locations would
include:
Dashiell
Hammett Street
