I grew up in a small town in the Four Corners in the Fifties with a population at that time around 7,000. Before The translator on Mesa Verde brought television from Albuquerque we had two drive-ins and two indoor theaters in town. My old man had a second job as a projectionist at one of the local drive-ins and on occasion, rather than hire a baby sitter, would stash us kids in the car while he ran the show. I nodded off to dreamland watching many a b-movie or boring romantic comedy. Is it any wonder there's a soft spot in my psyche for a rip snorting monster movie. Anyways, this week's fare is a drive-in movie called, you guessed it, "DRIVE-IN", a Texas concoction distilling all the provenence of this almost forgotten cultural icon. I'll save the back seat for you. I always enjoy some company. SvH
