That has to be right -- nice job!
About 113 E. Main St., 1956. "Thunder Over Arizona" was released in 1956, starring Skip Homeier and Kristine Miller (both misspelled on the marquee).

It's definitely Marion. The "Parks Belk" building is in the next block down in the picture and in these minutes from the Marion Town Council: http://www.marionva.org/sites/all/themes/marionva/minutes/2009/23.htm

It's definitely not Asheville. Eagle St. would come in there at some point, and the Fine Arts Theater has always had a fairly flat, neutral facade, rather than a brick and granite combo.

I passed through Marion, VA today, and all of the buildings in this scene remain pretty much as they appear in this photo, except for the signage. The marquee on the theater is still there.
