The Edwards Theatre burned down in 1964. I have some post-fire pictures if anyone’s interested. Don’t know the address and I can’t place it from the photos. My brother would know, he was EHHS Class of ‘67.
Yes, it was at 46 Newtown Lane. From 1981 to 1984 I drove a truck for Dean & Deluca — between their Prince St. (Manhattan) store and the Newtown Lane store. Ah, the stories I could tell…
I saw a few movies there as early as the summer of 1972. I was 16, working and living at the Spring Close House restaurant at the time and a bunch of us would invade the place on our night off. The only movie I remember seeing there for sure was Bertolucci’s Last Tango in Paris. A few others come to mind but its more likely I saw them at the Orson Welles Cinema in Cambridge, in the mid-to-late 70’s.
My head hurts just thinking about it.
Is there any way to find out, with reasonable certainty, which films were shown at the OWC in 1979?
There’s a facebook page for the Orson Welles…

Never mind — it was yanked. “This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.”
NickOD,
Where is the YouTube clip with the Off the Wall in it? Looked but couldn’t find it. Maybe its gone? Thanks.

When did “The Harder They Come” end its ten-year run?
