The Sunset Drive-In opened its gates on November 19, 1954 with Spencer Tracy in “Broken Lance” along with the Tom and Jerry cartoon “Just Ducky” and the Tweety & Sylvester Looney Tune “A Street Cat Named Sylvester”.
I worked for my Dad, Charlie Powell Sr, who owned and built this drive-in theater. We installed wiring and speakers during a hot summer in the mid 1950’s. The theater was located south of Moultrie on US 319 (Bus) across from the entrance to Sunset Country Club. After the drive-in opened I would frequently bring a date to a movie on successive nights, much to the amusement of my Dad who happened to be in the box office. Charlie Powell, Jr.
