1966 RKO Prospect Movie Theater Brooklyn NY

            Vintage image of the RKO Prospect Movie Theater formerly located on 9th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues in the Park Slope Section of Brooklyn, New York. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf and The Oscar are the double feature. In my opinion, The Oscar, starring Stephen Boyd, Jill St. John and Tony Bennett (as Hymie Kelly) is a very under appreciated movie and has actually aged very well. This found photograph is from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!
