Drive-in or Late Show type films of the '60s

*recently bygone era

.....

.....

^^^This trailer is great!

Anyone?

I’ve never seen Lady in A Cage but Amy Sedaris did a takeoff of it on an episode of her last show that was hilariously bizarre.

You might find something of interest over at Brian's Drive-In Theater. He's been doing this website since 1998.

I’m watching Caged Heat right now. I could see it playing at a Drive-In.

Remember the days when hiding in someone’s trunk to avoid paying was considered bad ass and exciting?

R9 LOL! I'm reminded of this quote from "Golden Girls."

[quote]ROSE: [reminiscing about her late husband] Charlie liked to do all the typical teenage things. When we'd go to a drive-in movie, he'd hide me in the trunk so we only had to pay admission for one. And after the movie, he'd drive me home, let me out of the trunk, and tell me all about it.

😂

These types of films essentially transformed into made-for-tv movies in the late 1960s and early 70s. Same budget, same level of performer, and a more guaranteed audience.

The Night Walker…is great!! Just the audio could frighten the pants off you

Featuring Tallulah Bankhead:

One of the last, truly memorable performances by Joan in a surprisingly good movie.

Beware. This film depicts…axe murders!

R11 At my college they had a midnight movie on Friday and Saturday nights where they would show movies like The Night Walker, which is where I first saw it. Another one was The Mask (not related to the later movie) -- from about 1962, a b&w 3D movie (b&w 3D always seemed strange, to me) where you had to put on the 3D glasses whenever anyone would say "PUT ON THE MASK" in the movie -- and would put on a mask.

I guess I never thought of how these same types of films later became TV movies.

^^OP.

I was also fascinated by the fact that exes B. Stanwyck and Robert Taylor (divorced around 1950) starred in the movie together, more than a decade after they were divorced.

1965s grindhouse classic Who Killed Teddy Bear

Sam Fuller's The Naked Kiss (1964) Peyton Place meets Ble Velvet

^^^ wrong thread

R13 I don't know how Joanie would have felt about being called "The CO-STAR of Whatever Happened To Baby Jane"!

“Butcha’ aah, Joan. Ya’ aah the CO-STAR!”

The Green Slime

Films of the ‘50s, like The House on Haunted Hill, can be included here as well.

William Castle movies can fill this thread.

More!

An enjoyably cheesy thriller from the late '60s.

The Nanny

Dead Ringer

The Innocents (1961) with Deborah Kerr

A governess who watches over two children comes to fear that their large estate is haunted by ghosts and that the children are being possessed.

a mere 81 minutes

also starring Tony Franciosa 1967s Fathom

another Raquel Welch B picture

The Bat (1959) starring Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead.

Lt Anderson investigates a series of murders committed by a killer known as The Bat, which leads him to mystery author Cornelia van Gorder, who is supposedly hiding a horde of treasure in her house.

The movie was distributed on a double bill with the British Hammer film The Mummy.

R38, I wouldn't consider The Innocents to be in the same category as the rest of the films in this thread, as it is a prestige film through and through...

William Castle's Strait-Jacket (1964)

I'm trying to remember the drive-in movies we went to. Offhand:

The Glass-Bottom Boat

Boeing Boeing

Billie

Ten Little Indians

calculated to drive you BERSERK

lots of psycho-biddy flicks on the drive-in screens of the 1960s

Tammy and the Doctor (1963)

Once You Kiss a Stranger (1969)

Mark Robson's Daddy's Gone A-Hunting 1969

Where Angels Go . . .

The Shuttered Room

The Annette Funicello beach movies.

"Lady in a Cage" is great trash. James Caan as relentlessly sexy, violent rough trade, and Rafael Campos is his giggling little sidekick who clearly is in love with him, like a sleazier Sal Mineo. Ann Sothern plays an old drunken whore.

And Olivia de Havilland realizes her son is distant from him because she's made him a "mama's boy," which means you know what.

The sequence where Olivia sings "Alouette" at the top of her lungs while trapped in the elevator is GOLD.

R45 I saw The Glass-Bottom Boat at the drive in also. Age 7 or 8.

Another Day programmer

Double bill second feature

Time killer

Welch & Wagner

Roger Corman produced Francis Ford Coppola directed

I smuggle this 1955 drama in because of it´s remarkable cast.

Lauren Bacall, Gloria Grahame, Lilian Gish, Fay Wray, Susan Strasberg, Charles Boyer, Richard Widmark and Mabel Albertson all crammed together in a mental institution where internal politics becomes inevitable just because of the purchase of some drapes.

"Help! HELP! I'm trapped in a SMALL PRIVATE ELEVATUH!"

R61 Not to mention John Kerr and Oscar Levant.

Shock Treatment (1964). Stewart Whitman, Lauren Bacall, Roddy McDowall, Carol Lynley

The Big Cube (1969) Gaslight meets Wild in the Streets.

Lana's sedatives are being spiked with LSD by her stepdaughter and her sleazy pre-med boyfriend. Hilarity ensues.
