The Saenger Theatre in New Orleans.
Late 1960s. Pre-drivers license would take the bus to New Orleans with friends too see Classics like this and Cleopatra.
Wouldn’t go there now even with an armed guard and a bulletproof vest.

I first enjoyed The Great Race during my senior HS year in 1971 while attending one of our rare dual HS film club meetings. (Our teachers knew a classic when they saw one.) And I remember every frame to this day - that is how much of an impact that movie had on me. It was the best of times!
