Anyone familiar with James Ellroy’s “L.A. Confidential,” or the razor-sharp film adaptation, will recall the sleazy magazine whose insatiable desire for nasty stories about Hollywood celebrities drove the plot. Ellroy called it Hush-Hush, but his model was Confidential, king of the scandal sheets from 1952 to 1957, when a string of lawsuits forced publisher Robert Harrison to cut a deal with the studios and quit snooping for the dirty details of stars’ all-too-human behavior. After reading “L.A. Confidential,” Henry E. Scott tells us in the acknowledgments to “Shocking True Story,” he looked for a book about Confidential: “Not finding one, I decided to write my own.” The resulting volume, slim yet still padded with photos and extensive excerpts from Confidential, could easily have been a long magazine article -- except that Tom Wolfe got there first, with a typically hyperbolic 1964 Esquire piece. Whether or not it was “the most scandalous scandal magazine in the history of the world,” as Wolfe declared, Confidential certainly made studios and stars the maddest. It was the first publication to refuse to play by the unwritten rules that guided tame fan magazines such as Photoplay, which in return for access served up sanitized stories depicting celebrities as home-loving, happily married paragons. Hardly, sneered Confidential. Relying on an army of paid informers, it dished up revelations of extramarital, homosexual and interracial sex; drug use; neglected children; mistrea...

This Friday night, a small L.A. audience will have a rare chance to enter the noir world of L.A. Confidential with a special benefit screening at one of the 1997 Academy Award-winning film’s most memorable locations, the home of mustachioed pornographer Pierce Patchett (played by David Strathairn) in the hills of Los Feliz.

Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles (2004.R.10) The Lovell Health House, an iconic International style home designed by architect Richard Neutra in 1929 for Dr. Philip Lovell, has been lived in by the Topper family for the last 59 years. In the film, the house is presented impeccably as a bright-white machine for living. But since the film wrapped, the paint has faded and begun to peel. The pool is empty and dry. That swimming pool and its integrated sun decks are integral to the design of the house, which was originally created for Lovell, a fitness enthusiast, and doctor of naturopathy, who wrote a column on healthy living in the Los Angeles Times. Lovell believed in the restorative power of California outdoor living and asked Neutra to create the ultimate natural power pad, with porches for open-air sleeping, an al fresco gymnasium, and big windows to supercharge him with sunshine.

Three policemen, each with his own motives and obsessions, tackle the corruption surrounding an unsolved murder at a downtown Los Angeles coffee shop in the early 1950s.

The ex-partner of Officer White (Russell Crowe), implicated in a scandal rooted out by Exley, was one of the victims.

James Cameron's epic disaster movie had all the momentum of the times, and yet it's a smaller movie that captured more of the critics and was far more deserving of the ultimate Oscar prizes that year. L.A. Confidential was based upon a James Ellroy novel that many argued was unfilmable. Enter journeyman director Curtis Hanson and novice screenwriter Brian Helgeland, and the pair stripped the book down from eight main characters to three, kept the spirit and essence of the book alive while rearranging the...
