In 1972, the three men forced their way into a partnership with a company that illegally processed X-rated films.
At the time, the area was known as a center of X-rated films, strip clubs, prostitution, and drug addiction.
There is an X-rated film four times a week after midnight, and the channel broadcasts 24 hours per day.
Not only is an X-rated film a problem to place in theaters, but it makes advertising difficult.
Kozmo has more videos than a neighborhood store, though no X-rated films.
X-rated films became accessible to anyone, young or old, who could turn a switch to "On."
"We don't watch X-rated films, but you can't really call those movies."
But their plans fell through, and a year later, new managers turned the theater into a showcase for X-rated films.
The police now blames the manager for admitting a minor to an X-rated film.
X-rated films' age restriction was lowered from 18 to 17.
