60 years ago this week

[orpheum]

As part of the 60th anniversary celebrations of the State of Israel this week the JC has presented us readers with a copy of their issue of May 14th 1948.The entertainments page makes interesting reading..These are some of the films playing this week in the West End and North London:-

Warner-Bond Street(Jean Kent)

Gaumont Haymarket The Calender(Greta Gynt)

Odeon Temple FortuneBroken Journey(Phyllis Calvert)

Odeon Leicester SquareHamlet

Rex East Finchley(still happily with us as the Phoenix)My Brother Jonathon(Ronald Howard)

Golders Green RegalThe Man Within(Michael Redgrave)

London PavillionNo Orchids For Miss Blandish(Jack La Rue)

Troxy StepneyOdd Man Out(james Mason)

So if you are going through todays film pages desperately trying to find a film to see,just think what you might have seen if you were going to the pictures 60 years ago today

Odd Man Out is a classic but Broken Journey is territory British filmmakers rarely tread. Haven't seen it for ages but if IIRC one of the passengers is in an iron lung?
