Looking Back
February 1956
Step back in time to see what our movie palaces were presenting in February 1956. Film titles are linked to the Internet Movie Database.
The
Movie Guide of the Detroit News suggested to husbands, "Make Your
Wife Happy, Take Her to a Movie." At the Redford, patrons enjoyed double
bills of movies first released in late 1955, including Rebel
Without a Cause (James Dean), Artists
and Models (Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis), and The
Tender Trap (Frank Sinatra and Debbie Reynolds).
Visitors
to the Michigan were treated to Walt Disney's live action The
Littlest Outlaw (along with a 19-minute cartoon, Johnny
Appleseed). The science fiction classic Invasion
of the Body Snatchers also opened, with Shack
Out on 101 as a second feature.
