The 1963 IMPA has one drive-in in Saddle River called the Route North 6 Drive-In. By 1970 the listing is Route 17 Drive-In. Operator was Smith Management and capacity was 1100 cars.
I was checking out the birth date feature on the IMDB. There’s a bunch of people born on my day and year that I never heard of. If you want a good laugh, type in Busty Dusty in the IMDB search engine and check out her filmography. It’s a crime that she never got that Oscar. The snub of “Ben Dover Does the Boob Cruise” is unconscionable.
I remember the old Rialto Theater. It closed in 2007 and has now been obliterated by the 710 freeway extension completed a few years ago. South Pas was a nice little town but the bifurcation by the freeway has pretty much destroyed any character it once had.
This August 1951 LA Times article describes the razing of the National Theater. It seems that these theaters often survive what is described as total destruction in the media, so I will post the article here on the off chance that the National was an aka for the Mansferrer: http://tinyurl.com/2xa2nc
Check out the Loyola Theater (Westchester, CA) page for a You Tube TV ad posted recently. The Colonel makes a live appearance. You can also see the theater, which was the point of the addition.
KFC was actually pretty good in the seventies. I think they were using the original recipe which had a little spice to it. That has been homogenized out of existence to the tasteless crud they serve now. Hopefully KFX is not one of the sponsors at the top of the page.
Listed in the 1963 and 1970 IMPAs as the Troy Hills Drive-In in Parsippany. Capacity was 750 cars. Operator was Eastern Management Corp.

I like the dead body giveaway. Very creative.

Joe, you forgot Evelyn and her magic violin. Worth another two bits at least.

I take it the Jodie Foster film is officially a bomb?

Perhaps Main Street is the new Melrose Avenue? That would be interesting. The old Melrose gave up the eclectic ghost as soon as the first Gap opened.
The final cut of Blade Runner is currently playing at the new Landmark theater in West Los Angeles.

KFC, that is. It’s getting late.
