When Andy as The Saint is seen driving across an old iron trestled road bridge, that's the Downtown Speer Blvd bridge that crosses over the Platte River, the railroad lines, the I-25 Fwy and over into the "Highlands" neighborhood.

The hooker scene takes place in front of the Bluebird Theatre on the East Colfax Bl "strip". The Bluebird was a former cinema and now is an active music venue

The several scenes that take place in an old fashioned ice cream and malt shoppe was the redecorated lobby of the historic Rossonian Hotel and Jazz Club, a legendary music club of the 1930s through the early 60s in the 5 Points district of Denver just outside Downtown formely known as "The Harlem of the Rockies" The Rossonian is on the actual 5 points intersection of Welton Street and is currently being restored to soon reopen as an art gallery and jazz club upstairs

That wasn't Speer; it was the old 20th Street viaduct.

It's the old Brighton Blvd. bridge that runs into Broadway.

It's the Brighton Blvd bridge. I thought it was the 8th Ave bridge, but I drove them both and found out it was Brighton Blvd.

The location for the school was 19th and Logan. It is a parking lot now.

I thought that the museum where they met was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend that if you visit Denver, be sure to check it out. I would.. except that it is The Museum of Natural History in Exposition Park... Los Angeles lol.

I feel more like I do now that when I first got here...

It's awesome driving past those places and remembering the movie.

When the "Easy Wind" character is waiting to brace the Calif. boyfriend it's clear the car he's sitting in is on CO128 somewhere near its intersection with Indiana St. Eldorado Springs canyon is clearly visible behind.

I can add a couple,

Critical Bill's apartment, at least the exterior Garcia ran up the front stairs to, is at 1425 N. Washington. Secondly, in the back of the bar during opening credits, the alley behind the bar is the alley between 11th and 12th, Broadway and Lincoln. That alley was also featured in the Perry Mason movie The Case of the Ruthless Reporter. I used to live by both and recognized them immediately. I lived in the building at 1133 Lincoln at the time when the Mason movie was being filmed in and around it in very early June 1990.
