I just looked it up for the UK, & it's 1987! I was born in 1950 & I can remember just about everyone in the cinema smoking, I saw all those films through a haze of smoke (just like at home, both my parents smoked). I'm just glad I never fancied it. I'm nearly 71 & did a 15 mile walk on Saturday...
Oh yes, all that smoking in cinemas, I don't miss that (I've never smoked). There always seemed to be someone sitting in front of me holding a cigarette & that little line of smoke would always make a beeline for me.
Yes, the two I'd love out of that lot are, They Died With Their Boots On & Gentleman Jim (I haven't seen that one since the early sixties), but who am I kidding, I'd buy the others as well. I'd also like, The Master Of Ballantrae (1953), it plays out like a pirate film, & I always enjoy it...
