This cheapie kids matinee was really an Italian film called “Sette Nani Alla Riscossa, I”. It was relased here in 1970 as “The 7 Dwarfs to the Rescue”. It’s only Manhattan booking was the 125th St. Apollo.

I wish we still had theatres like this here. It’s not only the low price but it’s also nice to be able to see things you missed.
