Drive-In Memories: Double Feature (+) Selected Short Subjects

We open with a 1954 propaganda film of a robot invasion from outer space.

Given the controllers high priority, fast track, race to replace humans with robots and the present situation of a Government run a-muck this Robot Invasion, or a similar incident, could very well become a future ‘false flag’ incident. I’m just saying.

But never mind that, just set back with your favorite whatever and enjoy a classic move and then move on to more serious drive-in propaganda, and finishing up with the classic superb documentary “The Atomic Cafe”. . . EDITOR

youtube by Docurama Films Published on May 8, 2012

One of the defining documentaries of the 20th century, THE ATOMIC CAFE (1982) offers a darkly humorous glimpse into mid-century America, an era rife with paranoia, anxiety, and misapprehension.

Whimsical and yet razor-sharp, this timeless classic illuminates the often comic paradoxes of life in the “Atomic Age,” while also exhibiting a genuine nostalgia for an earlier and more innocent nation. . . . Read Complete Description.

I have never heard of Joe de Nat but he sure had one heck of a band and I still wonder who those soloists are, especially the singer who does such an exceptional Bessie Smith emulation.
A scarce and seldom seen cartoon from 1937 with excellent hot jazz and containing caricatures of Cab Calloway, Ted Lewis and Bessie Smith.

Drive-In Saturday Night Double Feature: “Suddenly” starring Frank Sinatra + Second Explosive Feature & Selected Short Subjects

Welcome to a new category here on THEI.  Every Saturday we will be presenting a tribute to the number 1 entertainment media in America “back in the day” – The Drive-In Theater. In the late 1940’s and throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s the growing popularity of the family car led to a new American pastime, watching movies from your car. So, on every Saturday, especially in the summer, we would grab a dollar out of the cookie jar (a buck a carload) and head out to the outskirts of almost any American town or city and enjoy the movies.

Unfortunately with the popularity of Television beginning in the 1960’s and the greater profits from the land that the drive-ins were built on being so good from the tract homes being built for the growing number of young baby boomers families it became unprofitable to own a Drive-In Theater. The Drive-In Theater was history and the sprawling suburbs swallowed them up.

With the passing of the Drive-In Movie we also lost the venue for the mostly Grade-B movies that was their staple. (be they good, bad or indifferent) 

THEI is proud to bring some of those lost and forgotten films and Selected Short subjects back in this series of postings.  I hope you enjoy this ongoing tribute. . . Your Editor Dennis Crenshaw
