The penthouse where Cornel Wilde is staying is directly above the Ricardo Suite at the Beverly Palms Hotel. The photographic backdrop, providing the view from the Ricardo Suite, is a view to the NorthEast, with Vine Street running diagonally from lower right to upper left, with the large neon signs on buildings at Hollywood and Vine visible at the top left. The HOLLYWOOD sign can be seen on Mt Lee, left of center in the view.The photograph appears to have been taken from about DeLongpre Avenue, as the corner of Sunset and Vine can be seen. The backdrop providing the view from Wilde's penthouse is quite different, even though the penthouse is directly above. It is much closer to Hollywood Boulevard, probably taken from a position on Sunset Boulevard, and looks due North at the back of the buildings along Hollywood Boulevard, with Vine Street along the extreme right and Ivar Avenue on the left. The HOLLYWOOD sign would be at the extreme right of this view, and is probably hidden by a palm tree on the right side of Wilde's balcony.
