Love the site, especially the great technical information on the Fox in St.Louis.
I was a fifteen-year old who, with great trepidation, attended the infamous world premiere of “The French Line” with several similarly Jane Russell-obsessed adolescents that January, 1954, Saturday night.
I even remember the double-bill feature, “Crazylegs,” the semi-documentary saga of Leroy Hirsch of the LA Rams. We made up the allibi, in case we got caught transgressing the severe condemnation of the Archdiocese of St.Louis, that we went to the Fox that night to appreciate Leroy’s legs rather than Jane’s.
Fortunately, we didn’t need this lame story. Don’t bother with the sanitized version of the movie. The original that night was in 3-D, and it delivered on the promise, “She’ll knock BOTH your eyes out!”
I noticed the other day Jane had her 84th birthday, bless her heart, but the image of her I’ll always carry was engendered that night at the Fabulous Fox.
