I love these vintage ads from the '80s. Who knew Screenplay, that 1984 porn classic with Jon King, Eric Ryan and Lee Ryder, was “more than a movie”? Also, it's been a while since it was kosher to openly advertise a film you made of street kids “straight from the streets of New York” — which you could watch while enjoying a free buffet!

The Top Theatre (where all the tops were onstage?) was located at 1604 Broadway, which is where the Grand Ole Opry is moving, replacing the Grand Hole Opry.

King & Ryder: Goin' my way? Sure, hop right inside.

As for Screenplay's venue, the 55th Street Playhouse, in the Holbein Studios, has a storied history, but in the '80s had its lower floor decimated and converted into a truck entrance for the London NYC, a hotel.

The King/Ryder flick was one of the last gasps of the structure's gasps. Tenant Jerald Intrator, who directed 1962's Satan in High Heels, tried to stop the destruction of his home, urging NYC to designate the Holbein Studios a landmark. He failed... and died immediately, in 1988 at 68.
