The theater was near an appliance store that in the evenings had a large neon white star on a sign out front. At that very same theater where I'd watched the Saturday cowboy matinees and assorted serials, one summer under new management they began showing foreign films. I saw the "Red Balloon" there and also Cocteau's "Beauty and the Beast" each of which made a major impression on me even as a child and both remain to this day two of my favorite films.
