Did you hear me singing along with that?
Both brilliant.
Don't know what it is called, but I always like the black line effects.
These have brightened up a dull rainy day.
Thanks Lillias.

Don't know what it is called, but I always like the black line effects. That is the 'Comic Effect' available in PSE under Filter - Sketch - Comic... I'm glad they brightened your day whippet. You would recognise the last one as representing the film 'South Pacific'. More years ago than I care to remember my parents took us up town to see it and about halfway into the film suddenly the house lights went up and we were all told to evacuate the property as a call had been received that a bomb was in the building. To say I wasn't best pleased is to put it mildly as I was really enjoying the film. We got to go see it a few weeks later and I enjoyed it all over again...this time to the very end...lol. |

Well you certainly had some fun with this one.....I remember seeing this movie in a Drive-In theater as a kid. Did they have them in the UK?

No Drive in theatres here that I know of Helen. Certainly never been any in my neck of the woods.

Nasty introduction to South Pacific, Lillias.
I can't remember where I first saw it, but have watched it several times on TV.
When drive in theatres appeared in films I watched, I wanted to try one.
But as far as I am aware, there weren't any in England, either.
Thanks for the information, Lillias.
I am going to have to find somewhere to keep all of these snippets - my desktop is really overcrowded now.

We were at this drive-in - many a time. Took the kids there, too. As it says below, the land became too valuable, so it was sold to an insurance company, so they could move their headquarters from downtown Milwaukee. Not sure why they wanted to be away from downtown, but... For those who never saw a drive-in movie, you would watch from inside your car -- you would take the speaker and hook it to your partially opened car window. Some people, who wanted to sit outside their cars, brought their own chairs to sit on. Later on in it's history, you would access the audio through your car radio. There were many drive-in theaters in the greater Milwaukee area - there still are some in surrounding cities. They had a concession stand where you could get hot dogs and popcorn. Families took their kids in the family station wagon and the kids would fall asleep and the parents would get their 'date time' - all without paying for a babysitter. You would go on the days when there was one fee for the carload. On days when you had to pay 'per person' - teens would hide in the trunk, so they didn't have to pay for everyone. Drive-in's were favorites of the teens, so they could have some 'alone time' LOL You would get at least two movies and sometimes three. What a bargain. Opened July 1, 1948 with Joel McRea in “Four Faces West”. As the single screen the 41 Outdoor Theatre had a capacity for 1,000 cars. A year later it was twinned and became to 41 Twin Outdoor Theatre. The "Twin" moniker was kept even after 2 new screens were added. The facility featured an ornate neon sign and drive-in screens.
The 41 Twin Outdoor closed in September of 2001. The large drive-in was still a thriving business, but sat on land that had become exceedingly valuable over the years. Demolition began in April 2002 as crews began clearing the way for a new office park for the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company.
The concession stand caught on fire during its demolition. That’s insult to injury.
