What a great theatre…thanks for adding it! Fond memories of The Producers in its very short first run at an 11:30 in the morning show, The Charge of the Light Brigade on a roadshow engagement with a school trip, Truffaut’s Two English Girls, and Fritz the Cat even though I was only 16…
This is the theatre that opened Truffaut’s THE 400 BLOWS in 1959, Resnais' HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR in 1960, and Godard’s BREATHLESS in 1961. The Fine Arts played some very significant films in its time. My own best memories there were of seeing Pasolini’s THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SAINT MATTHEW and Germi’s THE RAILROAD MAN. Film enthusiasts who went frequently to the Fine Arts during those years may owe some of their best cinematic affections to what they first saw on that screen.
