I believe this was the Pompano Drive-In from 1953- 1959.

A popular movie destination for my family (then later, for me and my girlfriend) during the 1960s. Personal favorites were Poe/Corman films (“House of Usher”, “Pit and the Pendulum”), other AIP titles (“Master of the World”), and plenty of mainstream family fare such as comedies of the Doris Day and Jerry Lewis variety.

Bell South (now AT&T) and Imperial Point Medical Center now occupy the acreage once held by the Federal Drive-In, not too far from the Ft. Lauderdale/Pompano Beach city line. Nothing fancy about the place, just memories of seeing Don Knotts comedies (“The Ghost and Mr. Chicken” and “The Shakiest Gun in the West”) on first run. Drive-in worship services were held Sunday mornings in at least the Federal’s later years.
