This proved to be the highest grossing Christmas show in the Roxy’s history, due primarily to the movie’s fidelity to the scorching best-selling novel. During the week between Christmas and New Year’s, sidewalk waiting lines were often as long as those at Radio City Music Hall, where “Sayonara” shared the bill with the traditional holiday revue.
Christmas'57 wasn’t exactly for the family trade at either the Roxy or the Music Hall.
What were the parents making of all of this?
THE YOUNG LIONS was original scheduled at the next attraction, however, instead, The ROXY was retrofitted for Cinemiracle & WINDJAMMER as its next attraction. LIONS eventually opened at the Times Sq. Paramount.
