IML: 57/58 Ghia Limo Movie Sighting

[Imps Rule <impsrule@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi IML,

 

If this has been posted/brought up before, sorry.  Happened to see an old movie on the Fox Movie Channel (cable) and was delighted to see a 57 or 58 Crown Imperial Ghia limousine in the first scene.

 

Called "HIGH TIME" (1960), the color & cinemascope movie is actually a quite well-done period comedy.  The 50-something self-made owner (Bing Crosby) of a successfull Hot Shoppes-type restaurant chain enrolls as an on-campus college freshman, much to his spoiled children's embarassment (it seems that adult ed. wasn't the 'routine' that it is today...).  In the opening scene, Crosby rolls up to the university in the Ghia limo and there are several good shots (including one of the interior)!  There were lots of other cars in the movie, too (plus rising 60's stars like Fabian, Tuesday Weld, etc...).

 

It appears the next screening of the movie will be on Wed. April 12th.  Here's a link to the Fox Website.  Enjoy!
