I saw The Poseidon Adventure with my family there when it came out in 1972.Virtually 50 years ago.Needless to say we were all blown away by the movie but for myself a ten year old,just visiting and being inside such an exquisite,cavernous picture palace was just as amazing as Irwin Allen’s early,soapy disaster epic.Memories…
The Roma also showed Ken Russell’s The Devils back in the early 70s,along with cryptic warnings about the nature of the film (Warner Brothers virtually didn’t want people to see the thing).People flocked to it of course if I remember and it played for a marathon length of time.
