It was a mixed bag of movies back in Murfreesboro, Tennessee on February 21, 1970. We'll head out to the Marbro Drive-In for a double feature. The Family Way is probably better known now for having its score written by Paul McCartney and arranged by George Martin, but it's quite the charming film. Hayley Mills would marry co-director Roy Boulting becoming a young newlywed in real life in addition to playing the role of one. I wish I had a trailer to share, but none can be found so a piece of music from it must suffice. Up The Down Staircase features Sandy Dennis as a young English teacher in an inner city high school. "I want to talk about my potential."
Martin Theatre has Walt Disney's One Hundred and One Dalmatians during its first re-release run having originally come out in 1961. There's not much to say about this one other than it's a fantastic classic.
Last on this week's list is an X rated film. Persons under 17 not admitted even if they happened to be with a guardian. The Princess Theatre was nearing the end of its days and it tended to show more outrageous fare. More is a hippy dippy love story that turns to hard drug addiction. The movie is far more famous for it's soundtrack composed by Pink Floyd. There is nudity in the official movie trailer so don't say I didn't warn you. I'm sure the showing at the Princess was a hit with the discerning M.T.S.U. students back then.
That's all for this week. Next week we're headed to another year and I promise it will be out of this world.
