You know Ed,And maybe you are the only one to explain this,but i was just leaving a post on NATIONAL HILLS on the same subject. How does a film like Christopher Lee’s “Taste the Blood of Dracula” get rated PG 13,when at the time there was no such rating.“Taste” was GP at the time. “Dracula Has Risen From the Grave” was rated G! I have the one sheet. Today,It’s PG-13.
I saw “The Good,The Bad,&The Ugly” rated R the other day on DVD.Heck,there wasn’t a rating system in those days,Does the MPAA re rate these films. Doesn’t make sense.I guess “True Grit” carries John Wayne’s only R rating? It is stupid.
For the record,Rich 37, WHAT’S UP DOC opened at National Hills.When i was hired the first movie i worked was another Streisand film “ For Pete’s Sake”.
Wow, someone remembers DOC SAVAGE.We played it a week to forgettable business. I did like the one sheet,and i am surprized it was G rated. I looked in a video guide and they had it PG,but if you have the one sheet; you’re right. I have noticed many ratings being changed on videos, Example several Christopher Lee “Dracula” movies I saw as a kid have been changed to PG 13.When there was no such rating at the time.
I saw “The Good,The Bad,&The Ugly” the other day with an R Rating.
Heck,There wasn’t even a rating system in those days.But,I am sure others have noticed these new Ratings. I wish i would have kept the one sheet on DOC SAVAGE since i collected so many.
I haven’t gotten any pictures yet.I wish the box office had been up ,but sadly it was bulldozed down,I was heading back to Augusta when i spotted the EXPRESSWAY and had to exit.I do this alot,but on interstates you just don’t see a lot of Drive-ins.
I did take some of the MOONLIT in Conyers,Ga. Other side of Atlanta.Be glad to make copies.It is on CT. I have a friend, Nick he has written some great stuff on the Hillsboro Drive in in TAMPA,and he is currently,{and i don’t know how he has the time} doing a write up on every Drive-in,in Tampa.HE spends Hours in research.
I don’t know anything about headers ,but it closed as HENDERSONVILLE OUTDOOR CINEMA, The JOY DRIVE In , In Hendersonville closed as JOY OUTDOOR CINEMA,I think the owners were trying to give it a jazzy sound. Still a Drive-in theatre.
Geez, I thought Cincinnati was like Atlanta,You don’t even think of the hundreds of little towns,it is all Cincinnati.How far apart is Newport? across the river?
Summer of 72 Hitchcock’s FRENZY opens at Daniel Village it would be the only R rated movie he made.It would play on late shows at our ABC THEATRES here.Mainly,because of my selection of films in that era.Opened in late June or early July of 72.
August 13 1972 the X rated ROOMMATES opens at the ART THEATRE,Joe Good must have been paying the cops off.Or his little theatre was too small to worry about.
According to a old projectionist Mr.Beaufort, he started work at the Modjeska as a young kid in the 30’s and he told me it was a show palace. I have a friend here,Stage Manager of the IMPERIAL,Tim Campbell who is working up a better history on this and the DREAMLAND in Augusta.
Honestly, I know you were watching the EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN. Tim, said he’ll put everything on CT.
