Postcard today - January 13, 1963. Showiing Post Theatre, Fort Lee, VA. ..."the first permanent structure erected on this post for the entertainment and enjoyment of all personnel." He went to see Reptilicus - a google of which finds this:

Danish miners dug up a section of a giant reptile's tail from the frozen grounds in Lapland, where they were drilling. The section was flown to the Denmark Aquarium in Copenhagen, where it was preserved in a cold room for scientific study. But due to careless mishandling, the room was left open and the section began to thaw, only for scientists to find that it was starting to regenerate! Professor Martens, who was in charge of the Aquarium, dubbed the reptilian species "Reptilicus" (upon a reporter's suggestion), and compared its regeneration abilities to that of other animals like earthworms and starfishes. Once fully regenerated from the tail section, Reptilicus went on an unstoppable rampage from the Danish countryside to the panic-stricken streets of Copenhagen before finally being killed with poison by ingenuous scientists and military officers.

This is SO not his style of movie, I can only think that (a) it was a "foreign film" and therefore marginally acceptable, or (b) the only available entertainment at the moment. Oh, wait. He calls it a "really great show." It must be the movie. The movie came out in Denmark in 1961. Hmmmm.....

He also is going to see Phaedra. Now that is a good movie! Starring Anthony Perkins and Melina Mercouri. If you read this blog, you should be making a list of the movies I mention and rent them - especially if you are under 50 and have never seen them. See the lot of them. Ingmar Bergman. Boccaccio 70. Days of Wine and Roses. Whatever else I've mentioned. Go see them. They're great! Maybe even Reptilicus. Since he said it was "great." I haven't seen it. Now there's a project.
