New La Jolla Historical Society exhibit pays tribute to iconic landmark of 60s and 70s.
but fewer may remember the demise of another iconic film venue. The Unicorn Cinema ran eclectic film programs from 1964 to 1982.Sometimes it is not just the movies we see but where we see them that makes an impact on us. I distinctly remember my parents bringing me to The Unicorn Cinema, and when I posted on"We would wander into this little bookstore, nicely lit, books everywhere on tables and in shelves.
The exhibit is being curated by Carol Olten who was the film critic at the San Diego Union when the Unicorn closed in 1982. Sandra gave credit for that to Harold who"did a magnificent job of programming. He got things from everywhere, I don't know where. Harold had a lot of fun choosing things and putting them together and thinking about how they went together.""The Unicorn was my babysitter because if my parents were busy. They would stick me in 'Yojimbo' or 'Shoot the Piano Player,'" Benjamin recalled.
"The Unicorn Theater is where I learned to love foreign film," Call said."Some of the movies got out after the busses ran. So there were only two things that I wanted to do after the busses ran, and that was the midnight movies at the Academy and the Unicorn Theater. And so I bought a motorcycle expressly to come to the Unicorn."A sample of the poetic writing that graced the programs and flyers of the Unicorn Cinema.
