MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN

The Circle Twin Cinemas in Latham, NY (previously known as the Branche, and now a pool store) screened Paramount's family film MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN (1969) back in March, 1970.

THE MUMMY'S SHROUD, etc.

In March, 1968 the Center Drive-in featured "4 horror hits," but only advertised three of them. THE MUMMY'S SHROUD was a Hammer production from 1967. CHAMBER OF HORRORS (1966) was a pilot for a detective show released to theaters; no DVD release as of yet. THE REPTILE (1966) was also from Hammer.

Entertainment Happenings at Rudy's

Anyone remember Rudy's in Latham, NY? Here's an ad from January, 1971 hyping upcoming shows for Mother, Flag & Country, Friendship Train, Confusion, Thomas Chockley & His Group, Turnpike, and Von Ryan's Express.

MOONSHINE LOVE / THE WILDEST

For a week in May, 1971 the Center Drive-in screened this double-feature. MOONSHINE LOVE was a reissue title for the obscure SOD SISTERS (1969), with Glen Stensil; on VHS and DVD-R from Something Weird. THE WILDEST (1969) is a sexploiter from Sack Amusements that has yet to turn up.

MOONLIGHTING WIVES, etc.

Here's a triple-feature at the Turnpike Drive-in, from March, 1968. MOONLIGHTING WIVES (1966) was Joe Sarno's story of a suburban prostitution ring. A NEW KIND OF LOVE (1963) was a romantic comedy with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. RUNAWAY GIRL (1962/1966) was a crime drama with Lili St. Cyr and Jock Mahoney; on VHS and DVD-R from Something Weird.

THE MOLLY MAGUIRES

March, 1970 screening at the Cinema Delaware for the 19th century Pennsylvania miner drama THE MOLLY MAGUIRES (1970), directed by Martin Ritt.

THE MINI-SKIRT MOB, etc.

Here's an enjoyable pair of double-features from May, 1968 at the Tri-City Twin. THE MINI-SKIRT MOB (1968) was a tepid AIP biker flick with Jeremy Slate and Diane McBain. RIOT ON SUNSET STRIP (1967, dig the spelling in the ad) was a well-liked AIP hippie exploitation piece featuring Aldo Ray and Mimsy Farmer; don't think it ever even had an official VHS release, but it's widely available as a bootleg. VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (1967) was the infamous melodrama with Patty Duke and Sharon Tate. OUR MAN FLINT (1966) was the first of the pair of James Coburn spy spoofs.
