I agree there are tons of comments on CT that a perticular movie was seen at a particular theatre, but there are also a lot of movies seen at particular theatres that the comments also have a relexion on the presentation, sound etc which do fall in a historic/informational category.
“Dr. No” was the first Bond film followed by “From Russia With Love”. They were double billed before “Goldfinger” was released. “Goldfinger” was the first blockbuster for the Bond films.

Who is operating the Ritz at this time?
From the street view it looks like they have lighted panels all along the marquee and the neon looks to be in working order on the blades.
