DAUGHTERS OF LOVE / FEMALE EMANCIPATION / WILD TRAIL

The Center Drive-In in Raleigh screened this naughty triple-feature back in January, 1974. All three are mystery titles... DAUGHTERS OF LOVE is possibly a retitling of 1968's DAUGHTERS OF LESBOS, but I have no clue what FEMALE EMANCIPATION and WILD TRAIL are. Anyone know?

PSYCH-OUT / WATERHOLE #3 / GLORY STOMPERS

This entertaining triple-bill roared into three area drive-ins back in April, 1968: The Mohawk on Route 5 (Central Ave./State St.), The Riverview, and the immortal Tri-City in Menands. PSYCH-OUT (1968) was of course Richard Rush's downbeat summer of love cash-in; WATERHOLE #3 was a 1967 comedy-western starring James Coburn; and THE GLORY STOMPERS (1968) was a cheesily-entertaining biker precursor to EASY RIDER that has yet to make it on DVD.
