Specific filming locations?


I'm sure the LA area but anyone know specifically where? Thanks.

Since they mentioned "San Felipe" being near Camp Pendleton my guess is the town scenes were filmed in nearby San Clemente, CA. Just a guess.

In one of the earlier scenes Rory Calhoun jumps in a truck and tears out from the gas station. He passes a sign reading "South Bay". So it could be the South Bay area of Los Angeles.... Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, or it could be the South Bay area of San Diego. For a low budget noir I have to figure they stayed close to LA though.
