How many months did it even last at Loew’s State 2? Definitely not 8. But I loved these roadshow pictures when they tried to turn them into an event. I saw it at the drive in the summer of ‘69 and boy was it boring. Tried watching it on TV and it was pretty bad. Maybe I got 30 minutes into it if that long. It might have past muster at the Music Hall as the Christmas film replacing what Leonard Maltin called the dirtiest G rated movie ever The Impossible Years which is very smutty. But because it had David Niven presiding over a family they considered it a family film. Even as a boy I would have been embarrassed seeing it with my family. Darling Lili is another film where you wonder if the studio bought the G rating.
