Indeed Amback..not the same now …
For just under two years (July 1969 to June 1971), Sheffield had four excellent 70mm screens, The Odeon, the ABC and the two new auditoria at the Gaumont. Contrast that with today’s pathetic offerings.
I’ve uploaded two pictures.

‘The Sound Of Music’ opened at the Odeon Sheffield on Sunday 3rd October 1965 and ran until February 1967. ‘Khartoum’ immediately replaced it.Other films shown on a Road Show basis after ‘Sound Of Music’ to those already mentioned by Chriso were ‘Thoroughly Modern Millie’, ‘Doctor Dolittle’, ‘Custer of the West’,and ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’. Two TODD AO films were also brought back for one week runs – ‘Oklahoma!’ and ‘South Pacific’. The support with ‘Oklahoma!’ was ‘The Miracle Of TODD AO’.
