At the movies at a few Capital Region cinemas, Aug. 3, 1971.
Cinema 7 in Latham--not a 7-plex, but a one-screen house on Route 7 that's now an office building--is showing one of the year's big hits, Summer of '42. "Held Over Fifth Week."
The Mohawk Drive-In (where Kohl's Plaza is now in Colonie) and the Riverview Drive-In (Scotia-Amsterdam Road) have the same double feature: A forgotten, low budget stock-car racing flick called Jump and, still in circulation 2 years after its debut, Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch.
The Andromeda Strain is in its last night at the Towne Theater in Latham, immediately to be replaced by an MGM double feature: Shaft and the deeply bizarre Pretty Maids All In a Row.
The Madison--you know, the Madison that's still on Madison Avenue in Albany--is showing Klute, which won Jane Fonda an Oscar.
The Hellman, which used to be on Washington Avenue across from UAlbany, has Woody Allen's Take the Money and Run, and Dustin Hoffman in the excrusiatingly named Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Terrible Things About Me?
Proctor's--they still had the apostrophe then--was showing a pair of family-esque films featuring 3 stars of the hit musical Oliver, Ron Moody and Jack Wild in Flight of the Doves and Mark Lester in Run Wild, Run Free.
