Angel's Flight

Angel's Flight is a rare, low-budget 1965 film noir thriller that follows a hard-drinking reporter, Ben Wiley, as he attempts to solve a series of murders involving a local stripper. While the film itself is often criticized for its technical limitations, it is highly valued by historians as a visual record of Los Angeles' Bunker Hill neighborhood shortly before it was demolished for urban renewal.
