Great pics brings back memories.
I must say, as seedy as some say it was, I like the old 42nd street a lot better. Great photos. Wish there were some of the old State, National, Embassy and Rivoli.
This was one of the best times in the movie biz in NYC . I had just been transferred to the Warner Twin ( the Strand) on the opening week of Cobra we ran 24 hours straight .
Wow… Thanks for sharing this. Nice set of shots of the Duece, just as I remember it. Actually, towards the tail end of the few years I spent going to movies in the area. By ‘86, I was an infrequent visitor – and then, rarely for a flick, anymore. But these are great!
I enjoyed that I would also love to see the ones from the 50s with those great double bills Inn those days the marquees were a work of art perfectly centered and well maintained. I used to love to walk down 42nd from B'way to 8th to admire them
What a treasure trove. We’ve got to get these copied onto each theater’s photo page.
I have switched to using SmugMug for my 1980s-90s photos. This set of photos is now here.
