The Moonlite Drive-In in Radcliff was mentioned in a July 22, 1956 ad in the Louisville Courier-Journal.

The 1958-59 Motion Picture Almanacs had the Moonlite, capacity 450, owner Sailing & Danner. The 1960-65 MPAs change the owner to Rockwood Amuse. Co., but the Rockwood Amusement Company circuit list holding in the 1960-65 MPAs didn’t include it.

The 1960 (or earlier)-1965 Film Daily Yearbooks included the Moonlite Drive-In under Radcliff, but the 1966 edition did not.

Found it! The Moonlit Drive-In was built on a site of a racing track and has very long entrance and exit paths. The entirety of its screen, projection and concession booths, and traces were directly located on 398-360 Seminole Rd, Radcliff, KY 40160, which are now occupied by dozens of houses and trailer homes. Its entrance to the drive-in would’ve been located on 458-440 Hill St, Radcliff, KY 40160.
