I visited Valletta three times in 1968-69 with the US Navy. I recall seeing movies in an old building where the theater was on the second floor and seating was folding chairs. Does anyone here know what its name was and does it still exist? I remember seeing Peter Sellers in “A Shot in the Dark” and Gary Cooper in “High Noon” in that theater. Tom in Texas
The Paramount was a beautiful theater. It closed in 1963. I recall seeing equipment, etc on the sidewalk outside during the summer of 63 as they were gutting it. The excuse at the time was that it cost too much to AC the place. It’s a parking lot now. I don’t think anything was ever built there after it was razed. El Cid was the last movie I saw there circa Nov. 1962.
