Alan Hale Sr.

Let me get into a couple of these other restaurants, and then we'll jump off to other unusual products.

Casa Cugat, Xavier Cugat's place, which apparently was right next door to Alan Hale's Lobster Barrel

on

La Cienega.

He closed within two years.

I've heard stories from friends here who were born and raised in Los Angeles.

Similar story where they would phone Alan Hale's lobster barrel on the pretense of making a reservation.

But they were children and they were just phoning because Alan Hale would answer the phone.

But other than that, that's about the only experience I have with this particular movie.

And like I had already mentioned, not only does this movie star Errol Flynn, but it also stars Alexis Smith, Jack Carson, Alan Hale Sr., William Frawley, Ward Bond, Madeleine Lebleu, and Minor Watson.

Jim Corbett, played by Errol Flynn, is a bare-knuckles boxer who is determined to rise above his station.

Jim and his friend, Walter Lurie, played by Jack Carson, are befriended by Vicky Ware, played by Alexis Smith, whose father, Buck Ware, played by Minor Watson, runs an elegant Olympic boxing club, where, impressed by Jim, invites the fighter to become a member.
