Douglas DC-7 & Lockheed L-1649A Starliner

L.A. Airport with United Airlines Douglas DC-7 and TWA-Trans World Airlines Lockheed L-1649A Starliner.
On the left border, the tail of a Pacific Air Lines Fairchild F-27A which should be colored with a red line atop the blue one (so this black-and-white science fiction film is incorectly colorized). Registration is N277?R (with ? being a digit between 0 and 7).
In the far background is another United Douglas DC-7s on the right with on the left what could be Lockheed L-188 Electra (of Western Airlines ?).

Note that the rear door is lost during the flight but the plane got a brand new one when shutting down engine !
