Welcome to L.A. is a 1976 American drama musical romance film directed by Alan Rudolph[2] and starring Keith Carradine and an ensemble cast.

The film focuses on themes of romantic despair and shallowness in the decadent upper class during the 1970s, illustrated through a La Ronde-like circle of sexual adventures and failed affairs revolving around a womanizing songwriter, his businessman father, and their associates.

Ann is unhappily married to furniture store owner Jack Goode, who is pursuing their young housemaid, Linda Murray.

Ken works long hours at the Barber business and neglects his wife, Karen, a housewife and mother who is obsessed with taxi rides and the Greta Garbo film Camille.

Just before Christmas, Ken is thrilled to learn that Carl has made him partner in the business, but Karen is not happy that he will be spending even more time at work.

Karen, the only person who seems to have truly piqued Carroll's interest, finally appears at his home, but just as they are about to have sex, Ken telephones, upset and looking for his wife.

The music whines, the lyrics complain, and Mr. Carradine sings them with a kind of hushed writhing, like a worm dying at the bottom of a barrel.

Cinematographer Dave Myers works like the new realist painters, capturing a metropolis of burnished surfaces that seems to dissolve the will in an amber nullity of light.
