As a young boy growing up in northern Mexico, I went with my brothers to San Diego on a Saturday afternoon in June 1977, to see two movies in a row:
A Bridge Too Far at the Ken Cinema in Kensington.
Star Wars at the single-screen theater next to the Mission Valley shopping center, I don’t remember the name, there is a Gordon Biersch currently occupying the same old building.
Star Wars of course required standing in line for a couple of hours. I think that for months it was the only theater in all of San Diego playing the film, whereas three years later The Empire Strikes Back opened in several theaters across town. Those were different days.
