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.

THE MINI-SKIRT MOB / THE ROAD HUSTLERS

The New Forest in Raleigh screened this January, 1969 double-feature of THE MINI-SKIRT MOB (1968) and THE ROAD HUSTLERS (1968), a rare bootlegger action flick with Scott Brady and Robert Dix that still hasn't surfaced.

THE CHINESE CONNECTION / THE HELLCATS

Pretty great double feature at the State in Schenectady back in July of 1973: THE CHINESE CONNECTION was a re-titling of Bruce Lee's FISTS OF FURY (1972), while THE HELLCATS was a creaky 1967 biker flick released by Crown International.

SASSY SUE / MEET SWEET MYRA

Troy's infamous Cinema Art hosted this January, 1974 double feature of Bethel Buckalew's SASSY SUE (1973) with Sharon Kelly and Tallie Cochrane, and MEET SWEET MYRA (1973, aka The Naughty Nude), an obscure flick directed by Joseph F. Roberton that has no IMDb listing.
