Every Saturday the local cinema hosted “The Saturday Morning Club” in common with theatres around England, and us unaccompanied unwashed street urchins would cheer all the goodies in the B&W American Cowboy movies and boo all the baddies 🙂
The first REAL movie I recall I woulda been seven. Me, my brother and a group of boys from our street walked about two miles across town to see “Zulu”. The whole front on the movie theatre was decked out in Zulu posters and more big free-standing cardboard cutouts in the lobby.
What a great first movie, ain’t been topped since 😎
