William Castle’s final directorial effort debuted here on October 9th, 1974, and proved a boxoffice disaster worldwide. And for many confirmed a belief that Marcel Marceau was one of the most over-rated performers in showbiz history.
This was a reissue of a 1946 blockbuster which debuted in NYC at Radio City Music Hall (with stage revue), followed by the Fox in downtown Brooklyn, and then on to the Loew’s neighborhood circuit. A very successeful sequel, “Jolson Sings Again,” followed in 1949, but debuted in NYC at Loew’s State before moving on to the Fox in downtown Brooklyn and then the Loew’s nabes.
Colonial listed in section with “The Black Rose” as main feature.
Both “Black Rose” and “Broken Arrow” made individual NYC debuts at the Roxy Theatre (with stage shows added).
Dual engagement started the next day, with “Premiere” only at the Paramount Theatre in the form of a preview with final screenings of the current attraction,“Marriage-Go-Round.”
In their movie debut, Martin & Lewis portrayed supporting characters that were “original” and not heard on “My Friend Irma,” one of the most popular radio series of that time.
Directed by Sidney Lumet, the B&W romantic drama was produced entirely in New York, on locations throughout the city and at studios in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx.
Newspaper sketch by Wallace Morgan was published on September 3rd of that year. A replica of the Paramount’s marquee currently exists above the entrance to the Hard Rock Cafe, one of the few reminders of the midtown movie palaces now gone with the wind.
