Neither can I but interesting that it was showing Zulu a full year after it was released in London in January 1964. Did it take that long for films to be shown in the provinces in the 1960's?

We'll thanks for that, I thought I didn't realise it had been almost 12 months later, why?
 
My Dad took me to see Zulu but I donā€™t think it was at the Majestic (didnā€™t that become a bingo hall at some point?).
Its the only film he ever took me to see, he must have wanted to see it himself.
I thought it was brilliant, still do whenever I see it, werenā€™t there loads of Victoria Crosses given out?

Yes, great film šŸ‘
 
One of my favourite films. My Dad took me to the Elite(ABC) in 1964 to see it.My first grown up film, changed its name to the ABC in 1964.

I used to go to Saturday morning pictures at the Majestic when I lived in Pally Park.
 
The best childrens' film ever. Well, for boys, anyway. No romantic sub-plot, just carnage.

In Dormo primary school it was re-enacted for several days in the playground. About 40 brave redcoats would face a human wave of 2 zulus.

Re the 11 Victoria Crosses, I read that some of the military establishment were opposed to awarding VCs because it was a 'backs to the wall' situation which didn't warrant the highest honour.
 
I remember the Majestic well. My mam and auntie played bingo there every Sunday night. As soon as I passed my driving test, the old lady made a deal that I could borrow her old banger on a night until I could save up enough money to pay for my own and in return I had to drive them to and from the bingo once a week.

Hence every Sunday night I'd have to drop the pair of them off and then pick them back up and be regaled with tales of all the times they were 'sweating for one number!'

Bless her, wish she was still here for me to be able to smile and shake my head at their Sunday night gossiping.
 
One of my all time favourite films.
I watched it the other night for the umpteenth time.
The sequence where the men are singing men of Harlech and the camera cuts to the Zulus in full charge still gets the hair on the back of my neck standing up!

Im sure my mam went to the bingo at the Majestic as well, and she was always talking afterwards about ā€˜sweatingā€™ for the big one!
