Well, you weren't overcharged!
As I recall, I went to the Saturday Morning Kiddie Shows at the Ideal Theater in Corsicana, Texas, for two bits in the mid-1950s. Loved Lash La Rue (King of the Bullwhip) and it wasn't even considered S&M...};^)
So great flicks The longest Day, The great Escape (did you mention that), and others.
Of course saw real stinkers to.
