Hoyts Skyline drive-In 200 Burwood Highway, Burwood, VIC – Original Architects sketch 1953
Architects sketch of Melbourne’s first drive-in cinema under construction. Published in the Herald newspaper during 1953. Comment – It’s interesting to note that the Architect’s vision for the Burwood drive-In theatre included a curved CinemaScope screen. No doubt in line with the forthcoming Big Screen release of “The Robe”, and yet inexplicable the theatre opened with a standard ratio screen tower. One of the great cinema mysteries of our time.
