DVD Verdict Recommends “Drive-In Movie Memories”

May 19th, 2008 · No Comments

The popular website DVDVerdict.com has recommended the Janson Media DVD, Drive-In Movie Memories. Wrote reviewer Tom Becker, Drive-in Movie Memories is a loving, if brief, look at the story of this American institution.”

“The film mixes archival footage with interviews from people like critic Leonard Maltin, B-movie actresses Beverly Garland (It Conquered the World) and Celeste Yarnall (The Mechanic), producer Samuel Z. Arkoff, Joe Bob Briggs, and a host of others—some famous, some not—to give us the history of the drive-in, from its dawn in Camden, New Jersey, in the 1930s, to its twilight (as VCRs became popular, multiplexes proliferated, and the value of land boomed), to its small but steady renaissance in the past few years. Along the way, we are treated to facts and figures, tidbits and trivia, and anecdotes and (of course) memories.”
