Theatrical Releases
When it was released in France in 1966, King of Hearts was not especially successful critically or at the box office with only 141,035 admissions. However, when released in the United States a year later, it achieved bona fide cult-film status, eventually running for five years at the Central Square Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and other repertoire movie theaters.

Famous quotes containing the words theatrical and/or releases:
“A Carpaccio in Venice, la Berma in Phèdre, masterpieces of visual or theatrical art that the prestige surrounding them made so alive, that is so invisible, that, if I were to see a Carpaccio in a gallery of the Louvre or la Berma in some play of which I had never heard, I would not have felt the same delicious surprise at finally setting eyes on the unique and inconceivable object of so many thousands of my dreams.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
