While browsing the comments here I remembered how I went to the Rivoli for my 10th birthday to see Dr. Zhivago. We also saw The Sound of Music there. I believe we also saw Dr. Doolittle there, or maybe that was at Radio City. The entire family would get all dressed up, my dad would get the car out of the lot and we’d make our way uptown. My sisters and I would sightsee all the way, I was fascinated by “Fascination” in Times Square! After the show we’d all go to The Old Homestead for dinner. It was a big event to go to the movies as a family while growing up in NYC.
If we wanted to see Batman & Robin or Beatles movies, we walked to the Loew’s (Low-eez) on Delancey St. or the Essex St. theater. :o)
