A misfire on many accounts, The Morning After had a great premise and even greater poster. The actual film is a meandering mess, but has a charm of it's own, especially for it's lead performances. I do love Jane Fonda, but can't explain why she was nominated for an Oscar in this film. The movie is a true love story of LA, so I was excite to search out the locations.
First up is an infamous building that probably has more credits than Fonda herself...

As Jane exits, her point-of-views actually match the location! Looking to the left...

For the credit sequence, we get many shots of her walking across the warehoused landscape, all within a few blocks of the Starkman building.

And another shot...
The next one I could not get the exact shot as there is now a fenced off area in the way...

The Southwest Bag Co. building shows up everywhere....

The original Canton Food building is gone and replaced....

So let's visit some other locales used in the film. The bar in West Hollywood where Jane goes to get some cash...
The parking lot outside the restaurant....

The burger place, which is now (surprise) a Starbucks....

Jeff Bridge's place was the hardest to find, as all I had to really go by was the building seen in the background. After much research, I came across that building and did some backtracking to find his place, which "mostly" still exists. It had some renovations and buildouts, which actually look like they were happening at the time of filming, but most of the original structure is still intact....

Here is her friend's house....

Okay, the one you're waiting for... Jane's place is at 130 S. Sweetzer....

Jane's front door....

The back door she runs out of....

And down the courtyard....

Out front...

Running down the street from the police...

And hides in this alley...

Same alley where Jeff catches up with her...

And grabs her by the garages...

And here is Jane with me and my sister....
