The very first movie I ever saw in a theater was a Martin/Lewis film. "Pardners", one of their last movies together, came out in the summer of 1956 when I was five years old. It was a very hot summer night, and nobody had air conditioning then so my dad decided to take the family to the local theater so we could sit in the cool air conditioned theater for a few hours. I don't remember much of the movie but I DID know who Martin and Lewis were (from television) and I was really impressed by how huge the theater was. To this day, I still prefer watching a movie in a theater rather than on tv.
