Was The Brisker Rov Influenced By Movies?

CHAAAAASSSS VIII'SHAAALOOOM!

But it is well known in the Yeshiva world that he paskened that one may light the chanuka candles until the end of the last movie at the infamous Edison theater in Jerusalem. The reason being that one may light as long as there are people on the street and until a few minutes after the last movie there were still people on the street.

So until when can one light? Check your movie listings!

I must note that in "The City That Never Sleeps" one could theoretically light all night. OF COURSE the ideal time to light is at sunset or three stars.
