Drive-In Countdown Clock

[SteveCarras]

I love the old stock music cues used..much like that on fifties black and white television shows..or Ren and Stimpy shows occaisonally.

I HAVE A LIVE SHOWING OF THIS AT A FILM FESTIVAL!!!

[JohnEvans121857]

I have this and several other clocks on this DVD, I often play them between movies in our home theater. Everyone loves them. Makes me want to go right out for a pack of cigarettes and I don't even smoke.....it's the one thing I tell people our "Snack Bar" doesn't carry. BTW: If you're interested, this DVD is usually on e-bay.

I put this on while waiting for an HD video to buffer all the way, I watched the entire thing. :D

Thanks for entertaining me with advertisements! :)

Sorry, that's not Ken Roberts. This fellow has an accent ("the next show will stot in.."), and Roberts did not. Roberts would've pronounced those R's hard.

Here is the real Ken Roberts:

So is that Art Gilmore? [He passed away over the fall this yead,2010.]

[fromthesidelines]

Your announcer is New York radio/TV veteran Ken Roberts, who often recorded voice tracks for these theatrical "intermissions", as well as dozens of "trailers"...this is a 1954 "countdown" [note the ad for the "'54 Ford" at 5:16], with "national" sponsors; usually, local businesses hawked their services during these "clocks", so this one's a rarity...
