The Duke and Duchess were located on Chestnut Street in Philadelphia. Funt's film played on Chestnut at the Duke. Thanks for the (subtle) heads-up. -Joejoe baltakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467420961490314339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-61348477521551720112017-12-09T04:15:56.973-05:002017-12-09T04:15:56.973-05:00Ahhh... you bring back such memories!

I even remember trying to sneak in to see “What Do You Say to a Naked Lady” with my cousin but we were both too young and they wouldn’t let us in without ID. The worst of the “bowling lane” theaters in downtown Philadelphia had to be the Eric Rittenhouse right across from the park. I remember seeing “The Graduate” there when it opened. It was so narrow it gave the impression of watching a film in a hallway corridor.Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027786373775510140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-20136995975974943762017-12-04T16:52:04.787-05:002017-12-04T16:52:04.787-05:00The Last of the Mobile Hot Shots is available on D...The Last of the Mobile Hot Shots is available on DVD through the Warner Archive label <br /><br />http://www.wbshop.com/product/last+of+mobile+hot+shots%2C+the+%28mod%29+1000180044.doS.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06643285652474314109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-16161616412125512232017-12-03T17:04:28.826-05:002017-12-03T17:04:28.826-05:00ha,ha,ha.a.......I remember seeing this movie and ...ha,ha,ha.a.......I remember seeing this movie and laughing a lot, especially the bit in the elevatorWaltnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-40737855971266016582017-12-03T16:28:23.621-05:002017-12-03T16:28:23.621-05:00Yes, I noticed that, too, belatedly.

But I liked everything about your blog, except for your discussion of that film. <br /><br />I have never had any desire to see it (even after reading your blog). Didn't much like CANDID CAMERA, either.<br /><br />What I liked most about the blog was your discussion of films that were originally rated X, and then trimmed (in most cases) to get an R rating.<br /><br />m.h.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-12397074934683661752017-12-03T06:30:44.132-05:002017-12-03T06:30:44.132-05:00Thanks (as usual), Mike!

Still, I wish Funt had been able to make the films that he described with such enthusiasm. -Jjoe baltakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467420961490314339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-43775777873936140412017-12-03T03:09:59.062-05:002017-12-03T03:09:59.062-05:00Actually, he DID make another movie: MONEY TALKS (...Actually, he DID make another movie: MONEY TALKS (1972), which was rated PG.
