Thanks very much (and very belatedly) to Jesse Kalin and Cal (PRYLUCK@ VM.TEMPLE.EDU) for their replies. (Did anyone else's replies get lost in my inbox?) I can see that you put time and effort into your replies. If anyone else out there has any other suggestions for getting box-office or theatrical rental figures for older films, esp. from the 1950s, when the figures do not appear in Variety, please send them along. Thanks.
