Going to the cinema in the 50s and 60s wasn’t like todayβs multiplexes. You dressed up for the occasion.
The theaters had velvet curtains, grand staircases, and an usher with a flashlight. There was an intermission where youβd buy an ice cream tub with a wooden spoon.
You didn’t just watch a movie; you escaped into another world for two hours. The experience felt grand, elegant, and truly special.”
