How vividly I remember spending many hours in the darkness of the Tower Theater in Fresno, during the 1950s and 1960s. I spent the evening of my twelfth birthday at this theater. At my request, my parents took me there to see “Psycho.”

This is the theater where the risque Brigitte Bardot of the 50s and 60s played. Also some of the more prominent art films. I remember seeing Julie Christie in “Darling” there. Also Marilyn Monroe in “Let’s Make Love”.

Would love to hear from anyone else who remember the Tower during this time.

I show that at one time this was named the Ritz, any one have any information on that. The address for the Tower is 1201 Wilson, Fresno, Ca. 93728.

Though this is a nice looking theatre, It pales in comparison to the much larger,much older,more historical WARNOR THEATRE in Downtown Fresno.
