Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Jack Tillmany, the author, has owned and/or managed several movie houses in the San Francisco Bay Area and is perhaps one of the best sources for photographs of theaters in the San Francisco Bay Area. This book gives at least one photo of every theater that ever operated in San Francisco (except for "storefront" theaters that was the first public outlets to show hard porn--I felt the Screening Room should have been included for historical reasons). All the Market Street houses, neighborhood theaters, "international" houses (art/foreign films have always been popular here), and even the current multiplexes. A small amount of history is included with each photograph, not an in-depth history, but a nugget of knowledge. (I would love to see a McFarland-type book on San Francisco theaters.) Many great photos, my favorite being the showing of the Howard Hughes production "The Outlaw" at the United Artists on Market Street. Highly recommended!
