Frances K. Scott and A. Francis took on an existing commercial building and transformed it into The Flick, an art and repertory cinema that had its official opening on December 13, 1964 with “Bandits of Orgosolo.” The programming clicked with Colorado College just three blocks away and the theater immediately found its audience. It was said that Colorado College provided 75% of The Flick’s revenue. The programming was taken on by the Cooper Foundation from 1967 to 1978.
The landlord decided not to renew the Foundation’s lease at the end of a two-month long Hitchock festival saying that the films weren’t good for the entire family. Cooper closed with the disgusting and vile, “North by Northwest” on April 18, 1978.
