RobertR commented about Trylon Theater on Jul 10, 2005 at 5:49 pm

In the days when Interboro had the Trylon it was more of a second run double bill house, and then started to get some of the first run showcase films. Loews actually booked this theatre well when they took it over. “Saturday Night Fever”, “Looking For Mr GoodBar”, “Flashdance” all played at least 6 months each. One of the last times I remember it selling out show after show was “Indecent Proposal”.

Look at this trashy film “Cool Breeze” MGM released in 1972. This was in the waning days of the once great studio.

If you look under the Loew’s State ad, you can see one for the Victoria. They were presenting Rita Hayworth & Glenn Ford in “Affair in Trinidad”.

RobertR commented about Radio City Music Hall on Jul 10, 2005 at 2:27 pm

The post above with the playbill for the 1978 re-release of “Fantasia” lists “Matilda” as the next attraction. I’m embarassed to admit I saw that there. OMG, that film is so bad I don’t think it ever came out on video and I don’t even recall it being on TV. The great Robert Mitchums lowest moment.

In the late 60’s and early 70’s MGM re-released everything in it’s library that would make suitable family matinees. Some classics like “Wizard of Oz”, “Lassie Come Home” and “The Yearling” and some lesser things like this and “Brothers Grimm"
