The 60 Cent Matinee

While Edward Ruppelt and Nicholas Mariana each receive more publicity in today's articles, the ad showing a matinee airing of the film for the cost of 60 cents, by today's standards, seems almost as peculiar as the saucers.  As a kid I often went to double-feature matinees at neighborhood theaters for 35 cents a visit. Nostalgia vs. changing times (sigh. . .), how unfair!  (credit:  Barry Greenwood)
