This is a scene from the Alan Freed biopic in which the Wiltern Theatre’s exterior “doubled” for the Brooklyn Paramount. And not with too much accuracy compared to the actual displayed here
The biopic’s producers didn’t even bother to include “Brooklyn” as part of the name. The real Brooklyn Paramount always used the borough in its name to prevent confusion with the Paramount Theatre in NYC’s Times Square.
Comfortably Cool, they did add “Brooklyn” above “Stage and Screen Show” on the marquee in the center. It is just very dark in the above photo, but is visible.
