So great to find this. For many years when I go to the movies I try and make this sound when the trailers start. I go to the movies alone most of the time. thanks for posting.
This appears to be a recreation, but a very faithful one, with the great original snare-drum soundtrack. I used to love this bumper as much as (and sometimes more than) the movie that followed when I went to the Cambridge Fresh Pond Cinema in Massachusetts in the 1970s. They don't make bumpers like this anymore. Today's are so slick, digital and computer-graphic. This one was hip, man. Thanks for bringing it back!
I remember the old Plaza Theatre in Memphis. I'm originally from Memphis (lived in Frayser). Are you talking about the Plaza on Popular Avenue? I remember that theatre. Do you remember that old chrome twisted spire sculpture on the roof? I think they moved it to the preforming arts building at Memphis State University (University of Memphis).
I remember this too from the old Lakeside Shopping Center theater in Metairie, LA. I remember once some kid got up and started dancing to it! Somebody grabbed him and took him out of the theater. Some really bad films came out in the 70's because I can't even remember the movie. The floor show was probably better.
That's excellent!

Other than looking looking like a "powerpoint" presentation of a 35mm original print, it's pretty nice. The music was perfect!

The old Plaza Theatre in Memphis (now a Barnes and Noble store), where I saw my first movie..."Pinocchio." Saw this bumper for the first time.

That''s really cool!
Is this one of those digital re-makes of the old movie trailers? Sort of similar to those digital versions of the old SMPTE countdown film leaders?
Thanks for posting!

I remember this very well from the Chestnut Hill cinema (Boston) in the 70's.
