American Drive-in Movie

documentary

This film dealt with something close to my heart. I too remember going with my whole family to the drive-in in the fifties, in pajamas, falling asleep in the back seat, etc. Lots and lots of footage and stills from drive-ins all over the country.

Unfortunately the film was plagued by too-rapid cutting. In particular sequences the cuts were a half-second or less. This isn't enough time to focus my attention before we're off to a new image. Too bad because they covered the topic beautifully...I even learned things about the industry I didn't know...but for too much of the time I had to avert my eyes to avoid a headache.

Watta shame. It could have been outstanding nostalgia.
