An early '60s shot of the Plaza Level Court. The S.S. Kresge 5 and dime
is seen on the lower level of the mall.
Photo source unknown



Marquee of the original, single-screen Lenox Square Theatre.
Considering the film being shown, the photo must have been
taken in early 1965. And...yes...that's an Aston Martin DB5,
similar to the one driven by 007 in the film.
Photo from Stan Malone Collection

I can't believe no one has commented on the Astin Martin DB3 parked in front of the theatre. Just like Bond's.

Anon,

DUH...I'm the one with egg on my face here, so to say. I was thinking, when I posted that photo, that it looks like an Aston Martin or something.....

I did not even pick up on the significance of it in the photo until I saw your post.

As many times as I have seen THAT film....and as much as I do LOVE it.....I SHOULD have figured this out immediately...

Oh well, thanks for the enlightening post. I may never have "got it" without your saying something.....
