These screen caps are from a single street corner from the 1959 Sci Fi film The Hideous Sun Demon filmed in the Long Beach oil field area...can't make out fuzzy street sign unfortunately. Obviously around Long Beach/Signal Hill with the many, many oil pumpers and wells visible (IMDB indicates it was filmed around Signal Hill without any further detail...can't see the hill in the photos though), I've tried google streetview and aerial maps but the area is radically different now, any help on an exact cross street(s)? The basic street structure/fire hydrant and lay of the land should still be recognizable (perhaps some of the pumpers are still in place) and there were apparently many billboards in the next street up.

Those are cool images - my mom lived in that area when she was growing up (class of '55).
