Walter Reade Theatres did not have concession stands, so cleaning time was minimal. The concessions stands were added by later owners.

Mobster scum had nothing to do with the Alpine. Those criminal scumbags were the owners before Cineplex took the over the Fortway.

“Alice in Wonderland” (1976) was NOT a hardcore release. Hardcore scenes by the stars in other films were later inserted for subrun play in porn houses.

It was actually a soft core musical with excellent production values even though Alice kept sitting on mushrooms. There was also a similar “CINDERELLA” production.
