I need to identify a 80s Movie

As a teenager I saw a movie b, whose name I'd like to know and identify. This movie is about a guy who received an inheritance, a autocinema which passed b movies. The plot concerned, broadly speaking, on attempts to rescue from bankruptcy this autocinema. Some data (girls in bikini and a guy dressed in the black lagoon monster) appeared a poster of the classic sixties b movie "I was a teenager caveman".
Someone knows the name of this movie?

Thanxs

Could be The Smallest Show on Earth (1957)

Wouldn't happen to be "Matinee" Would it? with John Goodman?

Could it perhaps be "Cinema Paradiso"?

Not is Matinee (good movie) or Cinema Paradiso (great movie).

Did this feature girls in bikinis or anything like that? The reason I ask is that Fred Olen Ray made "Bikini Drive-In" (1995) - and he often likes to include little homages to older movies.

I'm wondering if by "autocinema" he means what we would call a "drive-in": a place where you watch movies from your car. That could narrow it down a bit.

YES! The movie is "Bikini Drive In". Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
