Looking Back
February 1981
Step back in time to see what our movie palaces were presenting in February 1981. Film titles are linked to the Internet Movie Database.
Susan
Stark of the Detroit News reported that the next season of the
Detroit Film Theatre would open in August with Francois Truffaut's award-winning
The Last
Metro. Foreign language film lovers flocked to Akira Kurosawa's
Kagemusha
at The Towne (Greenfield near 10 1/2 Mile Road).
The
Michigan offered "Old-Fashioned Entertainment at an Old-Fashioned Show
Palace at Old-Fashioned Prices." February films included Modern
Times (1936), Rocky
(1976), and the French language The
400 Blows (1959). A Valentine Vaudeville Show included live music,
theater performances, and the 1934 film It
Happened One Night.
The
Redford also put on a Valentine's Day concert. Its two films for February
in its four-year old Classic Film Series were Funny
Girl (1968) and The
Women (1939).
