I was at the Astor last Sunday for a screening of Billy Wilder’s “Irma La Douce”. Whilst the print was not the best I can tell you that the Astor’s owners retain a sense of what cinema is all about!!
Not only did we have Edith Piaf singing before the film and during intermission (yes a real intermission …Irma is 140 minutes long) the huge screen and excellent sound system made this a great cinema pleasure!
The Astor is a true jewel. It is wonderful she has heritage protection to ensure she around for a long time to come!
