The Edge of Eternity, Indeed!

 October 13, 2026

This is a scene from the movie Edge of Eternity and I actually watched them film this!

Cornel Wilde pulls into the outside drive of

Al Bell's Flying A on Hilltop

outside Kingman, Arizona

And, when I introduce the movie at the State Theater (renamed the Beale Street Theater) in downtown Kingman this Saturday I will point to the seat where I sat for the premiere in 1959 and say, "If I was a teenager sitting in this audience and I heard someone say they were here 65 years ago for a movie, I would be aghast. And so should you!"

If you want tickets to this ancient flashback here is where you can get them:

  Join us at noon on Saturday, October 17, for the special showing. It is a literal time capsule of old Arizona from the cars to the long gone businesses.

and Central Commercial on the left. All are gone except for the theater.
