I used to work at this theater from 1990 to 1992 when I was in High School. I do recall the decor being different than any other theater in St. Louis. In reference to the 70mm comment above, during the summer of 1991 the theater ran a series of 70mm films. These films included “Meet Me in St. Louis”, “Spartacus”, and many other films. It was only 1 of 2 theaters in St. Louis at the time that had a projector that was still capable of playing the 70mm of these films. During my time there the Creve Coeur Cine' also premiered the movie “White Palace” which starred Susan Sarandon and James Spader. This movie was also filmed in St. Louis. To go even further back one of my first movie memeories as a kid was standing in line with my father to see the “Empire Strikes Back” at the Creve Coeur Cine' back in 1980!
