From the looks of the cars, the movie, and the background, I'd say "The Ten Commandments", about 1956, Los Angeles.

Can anyone name or give the locations of the other four drive-ins we had. Hint, one came along later, I believe it was after another one close by closed, then it eventually became an indoor theater.

The one that became an indoor was over near Sahara and Lamb. Cinedomes?

You are right on the location, but not sure of the name because The original Cinedome was at DI and Decatur (?).

We went there throughout the 60's. Don't remember when it closed, but they built some apartments there. Pirate's Cove, or something nautical?

Ah yes, you're right. From another C-D thread I believe the Sahara and Lamb one was Century Desert 15.
