I enjoyed seeing “2001: A Space Odyssey” in 70mm here at the Royalty during the summer of 1969. It had a huge screen and a good sound system for a cinema in the basement of a building. We had to take a taxi to the address on Portugal Street, as we had no idea where it was. Actually, it is right off the Kingsway below High Holborn. I hope it will continue to be successful as a live stage for Sadler’s Wells and the Peacock Theater.

More information on “The Golden Head” can be found at http://cinerama.topcities.com/goldenhead.htm
“The Golden Head” was the first new Cinerama single lens (ie 70mm) production made by Cinerama itself, in collaboration with Hungarofilms, this was originally announced as being titled “Milly Goes To Budapest”. It played at the Royalty with the Cinerama short “Fortress of Peace”.
Robert, imdb notes here that this film has never been released in the US.
I never heard of the Cinerama film called “The Golden Head” can anyone shed some light on it?
