That was annoying and distracting, and just not necessary.
I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
I'm wondering the same thing.
shareGrowing up in the 60's and listening to old radio shows(1930's thru 1960's)lately, that's how they pronounced it back in the day. Somewhere in the late 60's and 70's there was a big P.C. push and Hollywoodland wanting to be cool that led to the Spanish pronunciation.
Is you is, or is you ain't, my constituency?

Just the way Bogart - er, Sam Spade - said it in Maltese Falcon.
It's part of a long and interesting evolution of the city's name pronunciation: http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jun/26/local/la-me-0626-then-20110626

Yeah, and that was almost 50 years earlier. This movie wasn't set in the Forties.

Nope, but it was rife with call-backs to the classic noir era: hard fast dames, scarves draped over bouffant hairdos, half-lit scenes, conspiracies on a nighttime train trip - Benning even said Gloria Grahame was her model for this role.
Using the hard-g pronunciation of Los Angeles almost exclusive to that era makes sense in that context.

Yeah I think it was an issue of style. They did a great job keeping that noir feel.

Interesting! I was thinking Marilyn Monroe.
In addition, the movie is about con artists who need to use an ANGLE for what they do. Just a possibility... :)
shareUp through the '60s a lot of people said it that way, but more people have always pronounced it with a soft G.
shareAnnoying and distracting? AS IF! It's fucking iconic. Anjelica Huston is a queen!
