Arnold Laven's Geronimo opens wide across the country today. It doesn't open everywhere at once, but it does turn up in Lawrence KS.

It also turns up in Dubuque IA.

The competition includes a Crown International double feature in Charleston.

The Devil's Hand is memorable today for giving us Neil "Commissioner Gordon" Hamilton as the leader of a bohemian inner-city voodoo cult -- but the poor man isn't even mentioned in the ad! You can see him do-do that voodoo in the trailer, uploaded by VideoCellarTrailers
