The only Ryan O'Neal film that I saw at the pictures was 'The theif who came to dinner'.
We didn't actually go to the cinema to watch this film,it was playing second feature to 'The train robbers' with John Wayne.
My dad was a big John Wayne fan,so we were all bundled into the car and taken to the ABC cinema to see it expecting a real treat.Unfortunately 'The train robbers' wasn't one of John Waynes finest movies from his later career, and the whole family agreed that 'The theif who came to dinner' was actually the more entertaining film of the two.
That was in 1973 and I was only six or seven at the time.
Dont know why it was playing second feature,maybe it was a kind of a B-movie.
Or I could be wrong,maybe it was when we saw 'The land that time forgot' a year or two later when 'The theif' was having a second run or something.We went to see the 'Land that time forgot' because dad was also a big fan of TV westerns,and as most of you may know,the star of 'Land that time Forgot' Doug Mclure played Trampas in 'The Virginian',so that was why we went to see it.
Anyway,a wee bit of digging would probably find out when 'The theif who came to dinner' was playing,but I would almost bet my life it played second feature to 'The train robbers.
Did anyone else see 'The train robbers' along side 'The theif who came to dinner' at the cinema around 1973?
