Now Playing at Oswald Cinema

There’s something strangely synchronous in a classic American nightmare sort of way about the 4K Godfather playing (or having recently played) at the famous Texas theatre (231 W. Jefferson Blvd., Dallas, TX 75208), which is otherwise known as the Lee H. Oswald Memorial Cinema.

Okay, I’m kidding but the Oswald identification has stuck for decades.

It was during a showing of War Is Hell in this very theatre that Oswald was arrested by Dallas detectives roughly 80 minutes after the murder of President Kennedy on 11.22.63. And now, in the very same theatre, people are watching and contemplating the murders of (a) Khartuom, the black racehorse, (b) Luca Brasi, (c) Paulie Gatto, (d) Virgil Solozzo, (e) Cpt. McCluskey, (f) Sonny Corleone, (g) Appolonia, (h) Barzini, (i) Bruno Tataglia, (j) Moe Greene, (k) Carlo, etc.
