Some Wong Foo trivia: I got to meet Julie Newmar and have the “Too Wong Foo…” DVD signed by her. Was surprised to learn that it is her real signature used in the advertising materials not some Universal Studio art department version. A great autograph.

I believe that year, 1980 Universal had the “Coal Miner’s Daughter” program as well as “Flash Gordon”.

FYI “The Poseidon Adventure” was actually nominated for 8 Academy Awards. The hit song from “Superfly” Curtis Mayfield’s “Freddie’s Dead”, was disqualified at the last minute after passing the preliminary selection by an Academy committee. Turned out the lyrics were not written for the movie and the song nominations were held up to a later date. “The Morning After” would go on to win Best Song.

As great as the original logo for “Funny Girl” is, it just isn’t marquee friendly. Columbia Pictures used the original Broadway logo and when it was cut up for the huge billboard above the Winter Garden marquee it just looks awkward.

“Alice In Wonderland” was shot as a hardcore feature but was released softcore. When the DVD was released the theatrical and restored hardcore version were featured. Here is a history of the production.

grindhouse commented about 5th Avenue Drive-In on Sep 28, 2020 at 4:03 am

Formally Prudential, now a UA Theatre, the 5th Ave Drive-In closed November 26, 1968 with the double feature “Shalako!” starring Sean Connery & Brigitte Bardot and 1967’s “Born Losers”. In later years, the 5th Ave was relocated to mostly sub run bookings while The Bayshore-Sunrise Drive-In only four miles away was first run.
