Are There Any 1950's Drive In Theaters Left?

What We Know From The Video

From this film we see a young couple going to the last 1950's drive-in movie theater and I do have to say they are respectful when checking in. It is known that they drove an hour to go to the place to see this movie. 

This couple had to wait about 30-40 minutes to get checked in and they arrived there about 6:30ish. Based upon the arrival of this movie theater it looks like every other one that we have in the modern age today. 

The only difference between this original 1950's drive in movie theater and the modern ones is that it is smaller, older, and darker. 

Although I do have to agree with a few people in the comments that as you further get into the video, the man gets an attitude problem about the food. He does not seem to be nice about his words at that moment.

The Comments On This Film

Many comments on this video has praise on how this young woman looks and I have to agree with them. The woman does look so beautiful with her 1950's dress, hair, and makeup. 

The young man dresses as if he is in the modern age and there are comments about his attitude. Other comments compliment their relationship and his hair. 

I have to agree his hair is nice and curly. Many other comments are about their personal experiences about going to the drive-in such as going there as teens to make out, childhood memories with their dads there, and more. 

Others talk about how they wish they had their own drive-in theaters near them and that the vlog this young woman made was good! How Tom and Jerry movie was an amazing one to watch and suggest other people to watch it as well. 

What Surprised Me About This Video

I was not expecting a COVID-19 warning that the big screen advertised but seems to be good that they put these on there. How unorganized the employees were but seems very nice to their customers. 

The movie theater that is this old did not have many differences and how they had some 1950's era cars at this area as well. The young couple said that the food was not as good as other food places today. 

Although there was some bad things discussed I would have visited this original 1950's theater and would have had a blast. What is you opinion, would you have or visit this theater?

Women were Disowned for Having Children Out of Wedlock

  Many women during the 1950’s gave up their children for adoption and it was mostly because of babies being born out of wedlock. Within this time ladies who got pregnant out of wedlock were shamed and disowned by their friends and families. They were considered a disgrace to the family to have a child before marriage. During this era, it was widely judged. Which I can understand why they would be disowned because they could not wait until marriage but on the other hand it happens sometimes. Many women gave up their babies up for adoption had the right to refuse to disclose the identity of the father. Lots of the ladies did choose to tell people who the father was but it was more common that the women refused to tell. Social workers at the time respected these women’s decisions about this situation. I personally have mixed emotions about this topic. I do not think that people should be ashamed for having children out of wedlock but still should be widely influenced to...

The Ugly Topics in the 1950's

Coming up on number one is Nylon stockings with the seams up the back and the girdle or garter belt that one needed to wear hose.  Movies and television shows were in black and white. No options for color back in the 50's until the later years.  White gloves were often required and no trousers were to be seen in public. If you were naked out in the streets you would be disowned.  Popular hairstyles of this era were a ponytail or one like the actress Lucille Ball.  Lots of women wore their hair up and this gave them the appearance to look older.  Girls and ladies wore aprons for many of the household chores and it looked unfashionable. Schools were segregated in the 1950's and it was very common that children did not finish highschool.  Kids back in this era had stricter rules and grew up way quicker than many children today.  People had to wear modest clothing and always look presentable.  Racism was a thing back in the 50's and you did not see mu...
