South Pacific would have been spectacular on that screening. It ran from September 1958 for 81 weeks so in 1959 it would have been South Pacific. I hope you enjoyed it, you would never get to see that on the big screen nowadays.
I'm a huge Laurel and Hardy fan but have never seen them on the big screen but on 19th July I'm going to a triple Laurel and Hardy bill at the Forum Cinema in Hexham which is being presented by the 'Sons of the Desert' the Laurel and Hardy appreciation society 'Beau Champs' tent a local branch of the society. The screening is to raise funds in aid of Cancer Research. So I'm looking forward to seeing the boys on the big screen and for a good cause too.
