1969: The Yucca Drive-In movie theater offered two choices, beginning at dark: John Wayne and Katharine Ross starring in “Hellfighters” and Andy Griffith starring in “Angel in my Pocket.”
Other options for local movie goers included Charlton Heston and Jessica Walter in “Number One,” at the State theater, and Elvis Presley in “Charro!,” at the La Fonda.
