Oh, and this may not be a question specific to the reading...I'm not sure, I may have missed it...but what exactly is a 'road film'? I hear you say the term often and I haven't been too sure. Is this in reference to films that were made for traveling exhibitors? I read yesterday, that The Sound of Music is considered a successful road film, but no explanation to why...

Roadshowing was a special pattern of distribtion, usually involving a big budget picture, in which the film would be booked slowly across the country, from city to city, usually in large theaters. The ticket prices were usually a bit higher for these features. Yes, Sound of Music would be an example of roadshowing.
