Most of the clips I recall have turned up either in other compilations or on YouTube but I have not come across any specific info on this particular show other than the fact that quite a few of us saw it!

I saw it in San Francisco some time in 1978 and would love to lay my hands on it because it had a brief bit of me in it from the 1964 Hollywood Bowl show.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771212641553932877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-60942477830353703572012-04-11T15:32:49.526-04:002012-04-11T15:32:49.526-04:00For whatever it's worth, I saw the same "...For whatever it's worth, I saw the same "History of The Beatles" film at an art house movie theater in New ORleans in around 1978 or 1979, so it was something that made the rounds, of art house theaters and the like, but there is very little information about it out there on the internet! Kind of a fly-by-night film of the 1970s.Chestofdrawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414327660614452844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-3348367301067150662008-04-29T07:45:00.000-04:002008-04-29T07:45:00.000-04:00I am a Cincinnati native who remembers the Alpha F...I am a Cincinnati native who remembers the Alpha Fine Arts theatre quite well. I never got to see a movie there, but they were close to where my dad lived. I loved their calendars and they got me interested in the offbeat cult films that would become my bread and butter later on. I seem to recall the last movie they played before shutting down was, ironically, an X-rated film - Roger Vadim's CHARLOTTE.<BR/><BR/>Do you remember any other incarnations this theatre had? I know the masthead at the top said "Park Theatre," but did they use other names before the Alpha?<BR/><BR/>For a while, after giving up on movies in the '80's, the Grote family opened a bakery franchise in this location. I went to high school with one of their sons, and I think he helped us get food for a party at my dad's place and we picked it up from this location. I guess it's a furniture store now last I saw it.<BR/><BR/>I think that Beatles compilation also played the Moviola, a/k/a The Movies, which was a longer-lasting repertory theatre downtown on Race Street.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-1148296826169292202006-05-22T07:20:00.000-04:002006-05-22T07:20:00.000-04:00I was 17 in 1978 and I would have KILLED to see a ...I was 17 in 1978 and I would have KILLED to see a movie like that! By now, of course, people like us have all this footage and much more in our private collections. In 1979 there was a slide show in a local theater - they called it a "multimedia" presentation. In 1981 a Brazilian fan club did a 3-day screening of their rare films in my home town including the Shea Stadium, Magical Mistery Tour and several promo films. It's great to be able to obtain most anything on DVD nowadays, but it's great to relive memories of those pre-home video days.Emilio Pachecohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01104009621178070226noreply@blogger.com
