Josh still lives and works on Long Island. Don’t know what happened to Jeff. Kathy, the snack-stand girl moved to Costa Rica. Billy’s main girlfriend, Arlene, became born-again and lives in Eastern Long Island. Mel, works in Manhattan, hasn’t changed at all.
I was one of the Assistant Managers for the Mini Cinema. I worked there for many years. If those walls could talk, if you knew what it was like behind the scenes, you brain would explode into a rainbow of stars woven by drumbeats. One glaring clarification: the original owners never opened a place called the Cine Capri on Long Island. I know because I managed that theatre. It was opened by a businessman who simply saw it as an oppportunity to compete with the Mini Cinema. The Mini Cinema owners did open a second art theatre on Hempstead Turnpike called “The Flick”. Credit for much of the Mini Cinema’s success goes to a young man named Billy Contin who ran the place. He looked like a Hell’s Angel and was sharp as a razor. Alas, Billy’s for the most part, dead now. But he was the one. Props to Bill.
