ROYAL FLESH


The Colony Art screened this adult double-feature in January of 1971; wish I could make out the second movie. ROYAL FLESH was a retitling of THE UNDERCOVER SCANDALS OF HENRY VIII (1970) with Lawrence Adams, Forman Shane, and Lori Brown; no home release known.

ROSEMARY'S BABY / BAREFOOT IN THE PARK


This bizarre double-feature played the Super 50 Drive-in back in July, 1968. Polanski's dark ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968) was a strange juxtaposition with Neil Simon's sunny BAREFOOT IN THE PARK (1967).

THE ROAD HUSTLERS / THE WILD RACERS


This AIP double-feature played the Tri-City, Mohawk, and Riverview drive-ins back in May of 1968. The rare title THE ROAD HUSTLERS (1968) was a moonshine action flick with Jim Davis and Scott Brady; it's never had a home video release for some reason. THE WILD RACERS (1968) was a race car drama starring Fabian and Mimsy Farmer, and featuring some additional direction by Roger Corman and Francis Ford Coppola; I know of no home release but it has been broadcast on the Speedvision channel.
