The Willow was known for its modern architecture with blobs of indirect lighting on the theatre's side walls.
Locals recall the around-the-block lines for its double-features, as it was one of the last Toronto-area theatres to run a double.
It remained an independent theatre until its closure in 1987. The site is now a condominium.

The Willow was a movie theatre in Willowdale, Ontario, Canada, built in 1947 on the South-East corner of Yonge St. and Norton Ave.
At that time Willowdale was a growing suburb just north of Toronto's city limits. This area is now part of the North York region of Toronto.
