Going To The Pictures!

[saintpeter48]

Who remembers going to the 'pictures' on a Saturday night, you got to see two films, Pathe News and a cartoon, you could go at anytime and sit through the films again if you wanted. A treat between films was a tub of ice cream with a wooden spoon, also a Kia Ora orange drink. At the end you had to stand up for the National Anthem and wait for the music to finish before we could leave the building, even if you were late for the last bus home, happy days indeed.

very true, tc. Sometimes the women do get dirty, but their makeup is always straight from whenever the film was made, not when it's set. So you can tell a 1950s Western from a 1980s one by how the women look.
