Royal Cinema

I saw many films here, including ‘The Deer Hinter’, the first ‘Star Trek’ picture, as well as ‘Apocalypse Now’, both with practically empty houses, as it wasn’t the tourist season. Nevertheless the Pearl & Dean lineup was before every show. The projection and sound were superb. The floor in the stalls was composed of mere wooden boards, and you could smoke, as some seat backs had ashtrays. I also saw ‘Life of Brian’ here and I was politely asked if I wished to boycott the performance. I politely declined, and the show, which was practically a private viewing, went on. My compliments to the management.
