Seventy nine years ago today, Richard Hollingshead built the first drive-in movie theater. At my home town drive-in, I got to see Fritz the Cat, The Exorcist, The French Connection, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, Klute, Billy Jack, Play Misty For Me, All The Pretty Maids, Vanishing Point (the good original one), Chrome and Hot Leather, and every other degrading, debasing, immoral, ruinous, rancorous film of the sex-drugs-and-rock-and-roll 1970s that I could never have seen at the walk-in movie theater. Thank you Richard, thank you.
