My recollection of the Hellman was as an employee from 62-63. The roadshow presentation of West Side Story was a highlight of that time. The 50th Anniversary of this film cited on the Cinema Treasures blog states that it ran for 10 weeks… my recollection is 16 weeks since I changed the signs on the Marquee each week. Cinerama in its final reincarnation also was featured at the Hellman who had previously shown the 3 projector Windjammer earlier in the 60s. Hard Tickets and reserved seating… tough nights keeping people in their own seats…… jc
