Hello Bruce.
I see you found box office information on THE 25th HOUR (1967). That one has eluded me for a long time. How or where on earth did you dig up the information? Thank you for your research of the particular film. I asked you about this one sometime back. I’m happy you found box office information on this film. It’s been a long time since I’ve commented on your web page. It’s still my favorite for box office information.
Thanks again. Lyle.
Hey Lyle….great to hear from you again….it has been a very long time. I actually do not remember the exact source for the 25th Hour. Pretty sure it was when we writing our Michael Redgrave page. We have also been using Box Office Madness and there research using Variety. Obviously these are not the bad sources…but they are the ones available. Once again good to hear from you.
