Who remembers seeing this at the cinema?
Peter Houghton… Yee i did
film
Lady Sings The Blues film starring Diana Ross. 4th December 1974
Came out a couple of years earlier but was shown at The Orion on December 4th 1974.
Mike Mitchell… Mind you, the other film is more the usual fare of The Orion as I recall. As a youngster it was a real thrill looking at the film stills on the walls up the stairway should they ever have a U rated film to see
Some People film 1962 – with Dave Muriel as the poster boy
Dave Muriel… I remember getting £5 for my photo on the poster.
Mick O’Dowd… If I remember correctly the soundtrack title was done by Valerie Mountain & The Eagles (not the US ones) and was a minor hit.

Funeral In Berlin – Michael Caine Film – ABC Cinema March 1967
Dennis Torrance… I thought this film was about 1965 and billion dollar brain was 1967
Nick Prince… It was basically a sequel to the Ipcress Files (1965), with the same characters etc etc. It was filmed in 1966 and released 23rd December, 1966 in the USA and 22nd February, 1967 in the UK.
Grease film – Classic Cinema Hastings Sept 1978 and local dancers at the premier in London
Matt Thomas… I was there
She Film – Ursula Andress – ABC Cinema Hastings April 1965
Alan Esdaile… Remember seeing this at the ABC. Shocking fire scene at the end. Interesting support film.
Mark Sevia… I must have seen this film at least 100 times! In the mid-sixties I lived in Eastbourne and worked briefly as a trainee projectionist and had to sit in the projection room changing the reels of film. I remember absolutely nothing about the film only the claustrophobic projection box.
Barry French… Great movie, but like you Alan I found the final fire/ageing scene a tad disturbing. (By today’s standards it probably looks at bit tame now)
Dennis Torrance… The last scene with the fire kinda scared me somewhat and what happened to her people who did not obey quite scary
Paul McCartney’s Give my regards to Broadstreet film – Hastings Classic Cinema February 1985
Julie Findlay-jones… I had the album.
Andy Qunta… Plus Rupert and the Frog Song!
Steve Amos… Rupert and the Frog Song was the better film.
Ralph Town… I was there lol, with a good friend.
Alan King… at least the Frog thing was a better song than Suzie and the Red Stripes
Dr Who & The Daleks film – ABC Cinema Hastings – August 1965
Alan Esdaile… I remember going to watch this. Looks very weak now, looking at the trailer.
Stuart Huggett… The colours are lovely but the Daleks are hardly deadly in it (I think only one character gets exterminated). It’s not a patch on the absolutely terrific sequel!
Paul Crimin… Wow. Went and saw this with my Dad and brother when I was a kid.
Ian Quinnell… Went to see this with some friends. Was great at the time.
Lyn Humphrey… Being a Dr Who purist in ’65, I didn’t go to the cinema to see this, as to my mind it WASN’T Dr Who–how could it be when everyone knew the real Doctor was William Hartnell?
Coco Pops… The Big Job was Hilarious!!
