"Neither Confirm Nor Deny"

We get a nice 1973 drive down Hollywood Boulevard in "Neither Confirm Nor Deny" (Greenwich Entertainment, 2020). It had a debut at the Doc NYC Festival in November 2020 and a theatrical release in 2023. 

The Chinese was playing "A Warm December" with Sidney Poitier, Esther Anderson and Yvette Curtis. It got a five week run from May 23 until June 26. Thanks to Donavan S. Moye for spotting the footage of the theatre in the film. Philip Carter directed. It's a documentary about the U.S. finding a sunken Russian submarine and trying to keep it all secret. 

 

 A moment later in the footage. See the pages about Grauman's Chinese on the Los Angeles Theatres site. 

The film discusses Project Azorian, the late 60s/early 70s CIA mission to raise Soviet sub K-129. Howard Hughes and his ship Glomar Explorer were the front for the operation, allegedly out doing deep-sea mining. A Los Angeles Times reporter investigated the story, prompting the government to issue what became known as the "Glomar response" to questions about the existence of the project -- that they could "neither confirm nor deny."
