I watch a lot of older films for the historic settings, especially city-scapes from bygone eras. This film 'The Lineup' gives a fantastically good tour of San Francisco as it was in the Late 50s. Besides major landmark locations like the Ferry Building and the Cliff House, the film has unending shots of local architecture and street locations. Great stuff for SF City buffs. The crime thriller plot is definitely watchable too, with a stellar performance from Eli Wallach playing the bad guy. It's a freebie film on TUBI; maybe you can find it elsewhere as well.
