Twenty-five years ago, I ran a small distribution company of my own, specialicing in reissues of old more-or-less-classics from The Marx Bros "Go West" to "My Fair Lady" (yeah, 70m !!), "Little Big Man" and "Battle of Britain". Before video really got started, titles like these still sold really fine in big as well as small cinemas. Each time, when i had a print of a "new" film arriving, I invited staff, friends, family and possible custumers for the very first screening, that always ended up very social When i invited to a first hand look a 1965 / MGM / Carlo Ponti war pic "Operation Crossbow" the cinema was filled to last seat, and my projectionist trainee and my equipment dealer kindly told me, they would run the show, -i should just mingle and take care of my guests. - Nice guys, yes ? As soon as i had been planted mid raw, far from booth, -the lights went down, curtains out, and opening of the show was a slide, showing me BAREASS at some wild beach party in Germany (staff outing) a couple of months earlier. So much about friends, and admitted, Crossbow faded a bit, due to the opening effect. Those "friends" of me never claimed copyright on the idea, so next time on Your way to ShowEast or West, You might just catch Brad some "funny" way...??
