If this was 1966, here are some of the choices that were available to you back on June 10th of that year as seen on the Journal's entertainment page. Of course, I have to feature this ad for Sandy's, featuring my favorite lassie, Miss Sandy. Sandy's Hamburgers still symbolizes the Lorain of my youth, although hardly anyone remembers the small national burger chain any more.
Hmmm... seems like movie mash-ups of the Old West and monsters were definitely 'in,' since two of the choices were Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter and Billy the Kid vs. Dracula!
It's hard to believe, but Billy the Kid vs Dracula features some well-known Western actors and actresses who appeared in John Wayne movies, including Harry Carey, Jr., Olive Carey (The Searchers); Bing Russell (Rio Bravo, The Horse Soldiers); and John Carradine (The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and Stagecoach) who plays Dracula!
In an interview, John Carradine was asked what, in his opinion, was the worst movie he'd ever been in, to which Mr. Carradine replied, "Billy the Kid vs Dracula"!
ReplyDeleteIt should be noted that this was before Mr. Carradine appeared in SHOCK WAVES, SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS, and VAMPIRE HOOKERS.
Those were the days...
Hmm.. I saw on the ad they listed Erie Electronics in vermilion in the south shore shopping center... i remember that... kind of.... but can't place where in the shopping center is was located. For some reason I thought they moved to Lorain at some point.
ReplyDelete** C-K-L-W.... weather... ** Who else hears it, clear as a bell?
ReplyDeleteMr. Carradine was in some real stinkers, but hey, it's a living. He was also in Grapes of Wrath and Stagecoach. And... he was how I learned what rheumatoid arthritis could do to a person.
I noticed that Ronnie and the Rainbows were playing at Lincoln Park; they had a hit record with "Oh, Denise".
ReplyDeleteWrong group; that was Randy and the Rainbows.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a burger, shake and fries for 66 cents. I got a burger and fries last night and it cost $17. No shake included.
ReplyDeleteDon - CKLW made it all the way to PA?
Alan - I think I have that Randy and the Rainbows record. "O Doneese, doobie-do." A doo-wop classic!
Buster - Sure did sailed right in, though on the house radio, not in the car (like Dad would ever let us listen to the car's radio). And we weren't all that far inside the Promised Land. My favorites were the MONGOOOOOOSE and COOOOOOOOOBRAAAA ads for Sunday! SUNDAY!! SUNDAY!!! At Detroit Dragway!!!!!
DeleteDon - Ah yes, those spots appeared on CKLW even more often that Bob Seger.
