A nostalgic, informative history of drive-in movie theaters, featuring extensive archival photographs and interviews with Leonard Maltin, John Bloom, Samuel Z. Arkoff, Barry Corbin and many others... Drive-In Movie Memories is a film celebration of Americas greatest icon of youth, freedom and the automobile. What began as an auto parts owners business venture to make some easy money accidentally became a magical place where romance, fun and a sense of community flourished. This film chronicles the drive-ins birth and development, its phenomenal popularity with audiences of all ages, its tragic decline, and its inevitable comeback as a classic form of Americana.
