The party after the R & J Paris premiere was held at one of the hot NY night spots maybe the Cheetah? Those British roadshows would always say All Seats Bookable which was their way of saying Reserved Seat Engagement I guess.

I did not know that it had a Paris premiere. I knew it had its first run NY engagement at the Astor. I remember seeing that as we drove by the theater at night after my parents had taken us to see Charlie Brown at Radio City.

Goldie Hawn and Walter Matthau go to see the movie at the Paris in Cactus Flower. When the movie was revived at the theater in the early 70s the tagline was something like Romeo and Julliet return home. It was also planned to be a roadshow movie like Zeffirelli's Taming of the Shrew but the...

I prefer the adolescent heat generated by Shearer and Howard in the MGM film.

I thought Lovers was R. I just couldn't remember why. As opposed to Women in Love which I saw shortly after. That I remember quite clearly why it was rated R though I haven't seen it since. I remember an old man (well he was to me) letting out an audible gasp at Bates stripping in the field. I...

I saw Butch Cassidy when it came to the suburbs. I arrived mid first showing and stayed to see it an additional two times. Do not remember those scenes. But haven't seen it since. Doesn't she tell them in a scene that she doesn't want to see them die? Then maybe there was a scene where they put...

I saw Out of Towners with Viva Max at the drive in(303 or Nyack) in summer of '70. A couple of years later back at the Town there was a double bill of Play it Again Sam and On a Clear Day. I have never seen an audience so riled up at a movie at that showing of Clear Day. You would have thought...

And to bring it back to the original topic the Town is also where I saw R and J surrounded by young girls crying. I'm afraid I have a heart of stone wondering why they were crying. Hadn't they ever seen a movie before where somebody dies?

In that timetable you see Lovers and Other strangers at the Town in Emerson. I saw that engagement. I was much too young for an R rated film. But they didn't care. They just wanted the money from us kids. I think Lovers was R. Though I don't recall any reason for it. No rough language or nudity...

Yes Wayne NJ would have fallen in the Radio City exclusivity domain and no picture could play within it while it was at the Hall. I remember being with my family in the summer of '68 in Atlantic City and The Odd Couple was playing at the Apollo while the film was still at Radio City. AC was...

Sherlock Holmes had it's world premiere and exclusive NY tri state area run at Radio City in Oct '70 with a GP rating. I doubt it would have opened in Wayne NJ at the same time let alone before.

Yes you're right. I just looked up the opening day newspaper ad for The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes in '70 and it has a GP rating.

I saw it in the early 70s and I thought at that time it had an M rating. I don't remember when GP started exactly.
