There is a cool night time video on youtube for this drive in. The guy in the video climbs the back of the screen!

Ok, this is nearly 4 years too late but blu_tango, that picture you have is of the Sutton Motor-In 110 Worcester Providence Turnpike, Sutton, MA 01590. It has an entry on CT as well.

Thanks anyway Tom, for your kind answer. In fact finally, 4 years ago, I found the Sutton and took some polaroid pictures. Actually now it forms part of a series of abandoned movie theaters in US and Europe called “Until further notice”. You can see some of the pictures here: http://www.osvaldohopfer.com/ :)

The Meadowbrook Drive-In’s opening date in the 1950s has not been found yet, but it looks like it closed on August 12, 1982 with “E.T.” and “Smokey And The Bandit”.
