Can the hall monitor of Cinema Treasures explain this?
Unlike Craigslist where anyone can remove a comment I thought that only the originator could remove one on Cinema Treasures.
This is strange. I made a serious comment about the sadness of Fonda’s death. Especially because he was set to make an appearance here. Somebody commented as if I were making a joke(I can like a man even if I don’t like a film he made) and both our comments were removed. Who in the world did this and why?
Peter Fonda, RIP
They are never the movies I want to see or gain anything being seen on the Music Hall screen. Of course the movies I would want to see there would be attended by a total of 10 people.
A two-page advertising spread in yesterday’s New York Times announced that “Easy Rider Live” will be presented at RCMH on September 20th, as part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the 1969 Columbia Pictures release. More details can be found here
I think that the Music Hall was already “dark” that night, so no massive problem like the one at Madison Square Garden where a sold-out concert by the iconic Jennifer Lopez had to be cancelled.
Major power outage is affecting theaters around the area including this one
I’m sure that woman and her children also remember them…
Re the 2 postings of BAF on the photo section:The last time the Undersea Ballet was done. Another stage staple that disappeared early in the 70s and for which the Music Hall was known for its spectacular stage capabilities.
I remember sitting in the 2nd balc because the orch was full and there was a woman with a few children. At the end of it she literally turned her head to me and looked at me with amazement. Nobody remembers these spectacles any more but me. These are what defined the place equally to the Rockettes.
I assume Sunflower(the poster was recently added to photos) was the only dubbed film to ever play the Music Hall. It was not mentioned in any of the ads and there were some who were justifiably upset though I’m sure that whatever audience the Music Hall still had left the majority didn’t care and certainly didn’t want to see it in Italian. I saw it the first Saturday morning and I remember it being crowded with a full orchestra. There had been a lot of publicity on its opening day because Loren made a personal appearance and I believe Variety compared the crowd to those that showed up for a Disney film at holiday time.
How long did Hail Hero play? The opening seems to have been Oct 23rd but The Brain was the Thanksgiving film. Until the mid 70s ‘69 seems to have been the Music Hall’s worst selection of films. One dreadful film after another. Seems like the only watchable films were Love Bug and True Grit. The American New Wave took hold and even if a few style old films were made that fit the Hall they ended up on the upper East Side playing along with Loew’s State if they would even be seen among the hoi polloi of Times Square.
The Music Hall which always had the highest grosses no matter how low was even beaten out by I am Curious Yellow during its run of Mayerling.
Legend of the Vikings must have been a lot of fun. Too bad it was never done again. I would have loved to have seen it.
Game of thrones had its season premiere shown on the big screen a week before it’s pay tv debut here.
So what film did the Glory of Easter premiere with? I believe the Music Hall did a tableau of the Last Supper before Glory of Easter was first produced.
Also see in the ad for the stage show with the film Richelieu the name Aronson as in Boris. He certainly created the most astonishing designs I saw on stage in his Harold Prince productions. Sadly this theatrical genius no longer exists.
Rewatching captain America the first avenger and there’s a scene in which captain America does the stars and stripes musical revue at the hall.
Cool-no curiosity. The nearby theaters is totally unreliable. I have seen occasions where it doesn’t even pick up multiple theaters in the same zip code of some remote town in the mid west.
Curiously, the list of “Nearby Theaters” for Radio City Music Hall doesn’t include the Roxy, which was just one block away and its largest and most serious competition.
Christmas Spectacular has been extended till January 6th.
Well it wont be long before protesters will be out picketing. Another wholesome show gonna go down the tubes because of p.c.
A controversial article about the Rockettes and the Christmas Spectacular was published in yesterday’s edition of The New York Times. Link here
