Vintage views of Chicago and the movie "Goldstein" (1963-1964)...Trying to nail a location after viewing the film today.
Man is pushing another man in a wheelchair up (after racking my brain) what I believe is the Ogden Ave overpass at Evergreen. It seems they approach the overpass coming east on Evergreen from Halsted. The "American Roller Co." sign is evident in the distance, which was @ 1342 N Halsted, in 1963.

Here is a view of the current Ogden/Evergreen...the only thing that survives in this view from the 63' "Goldstein" screen shot is the old American Roller Co building @ Evergreen and Halsted.
