Going Attractions - The Definitive Story Of The American Drive-In Movie

Once a vibrant part of American culture, drive-in movie theaters numbered nearly 5000 across America during their peak in the mid-1900's. Today, less than 400 remain. In a nation that loves cars and movies, why haven't they survived? Going Attractions examines the drive-in theater's role in American culture from its invention in 1933, through its peak in the late 50's, to its rapid decline in the 70's and 80's. Fueled by the recent resurgence of drive-ins, this nostalgic look at American culture, family and entertainment tells the story of a changing nation and places the drive-in within the context of U.S. political, economic and social changes. Features interviews with over 20 renowned directors, film historians and drive-in owners.
