Barb M Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 It was " Wizard of Oz " with Judy Garland at the Paragon cinema, Sicey Avenue, Firth Park . My Grandad took me to a matinee in the school hols & he got in half price, we went quite a lot & we saw the Doris Day film " Calamity Jane " & other cowboy films !! It was about 1950 & I was 7 I think . We also went to the Essoldo , Barnsley Road ,down the hill from Sheffield Lane top. Those were the days !!

Derek Clayton Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Who can remember what the film was the first time you went to the "Pictures"....how come we never went to the Cinema ? For me it was Disney's 'Song of the South' and I think I was seven so it would be 1947 at the Abbeydale. My Gran also took me and my sister to see 'The Red Shoes' with Margot Fontayne at the Gaumont in Barkers Pool. Can anyone remember what year that was showing ? GB The first film I saw in Sheffield was Trapeze, starring Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis and La Lollo Gina Lollobrigida. This was at the Odeon now no longer there, it would have been around 1956/7.

Eli the Cat Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 It was either Bedknobs and Broomsticks or Mary Poppins and I still get all nostalgic when they're repeated on TV:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The queue went all around the building and back onto the main street. Can't remember how old I was but I think it was in the early 70s Film released in UK October 1971.
