Beginning in 1933 and expanding greatly after World War II, mid-century America saw a boom in the construction of large outdoor screen towers on which a projected movie image could be viewed from a parked car. This was the era of the drive-in movie theater, which saw the marriage of the automobile and the Hollywood movie. At its peak during the 1950s and 1960s more than 4,000 drive-in theaters dotted the American landscape, coast to coast.Starting in 1971, Steve Fitch traveled throughout the United States photographing many of these theaters, concentrating on the often stunning neon and painted murals that decorated the back, street-facing side of the tower that supported the white, rectangular screen. These dramatic murals often depicted scenes that related to the local history of the surrounding community, and they could be seen from many miles away. Working with black-and-white film, he mostly photographed at dusk or night, making striking images that captured the seductive beauty of these roadside monuments.
