The was a made for TV movie called Rainbow that told the story of Judy Garland that showed her father in a projection booth.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 10-08-2006 06:46 PM                     quote: Tim Reed You sure that wasn't The Honeymooners? Yes, it was Pete & Gladis, not The Honneymooners. I suppose any projector can be modified to run backwords...  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-08-2006 09:00 PM                       10-4, Mitchell. I do vagely remember our family watching "Pete and Gladys" in my childhood. We watched it weekly. That episode you mention, however, is very close to that "Honeymooners" episode I saw only a few years ago. It was one of the "lost" episodes that was released from Gleason's estate. quote: Cameron Glendinning What was the name of the episode where the projectionist was murdered? Double Exposure, from the third season of "Columbo". Chuck McCann played the projectionist, no doubt, as a throwback to his lead in the movie of the same name a couple years previous.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-08-2006 10:51 PM                     I remember years ago a show called Mannix where he was in a screening room booth looking at some film frame by frame as part of an investigation. I also remember the show Pete And Gladys from when I was a tot... yes, I was actually a tot at one time. quote: Tim Reed a pair of AA-2's with Ashcrafts Tim, That episode was shot in a screening room booth on Sunset Blvd. that was owned by Screen Gems. The booth there was huge and I recognized it the first time I saw it in re-runs. I tore that booth out quite a few years ago.

I was going to pose that question, in the event someone knew where that booth was. I'd have guessed somewhere on the Universal lot. There was another booth in that same episode: the "moonlight" job the projectionist had at the downtown theatre (where he was murdered by the heavy). This was the booth with the XLs and Magnarcs. Can't recall the name of the theatre shown in the establishing shot, but I wouldn't be surprised if the two were unconnected. Btw, Mark... were the Ashcrafts still in place when you took the Sunset booth apart?  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 10-10-2006 12:40 AM                        quote: Mark Gulbrandsen I also remember the show Pete And Gladys from when I was a tot... yes, I was actually a tot at one time. Holy cow! Figures as much as I'm told lately, that Chuck Norris has cried at some point in his eternal existance. Nothing's sacred anymore.  |  IP: Logged
