    My first cinema going experience was "When eight bells toll". Also remember "Live and Let Die". Wings did the music. I must have been about six or seven...

    The first time I went to the movies was sometime in the early '60's in rural England.

    That would have been Longstanton Hants (now Cambs) and the Saturday morning matinee that all kids went to for a threepenny piece...not sure if that was per kid or per set of kids...have to ask Dad and get back on that one...

    ...First matinee ...no idea at all...the beginning was the news-reel that I'm sure you all know about and I had very little interest in at the time.

    The first film was about a big guy that didn't know his strength. He hurt someone without meaning to and it has always stuck in my mind for some reason or other...the guy that did bad but was trying to help.

    The next time that theme came across with the same type of significance is when I first read Frankenstein. My age at the time confused me with what was being taught on an English Literature level compared to English Language. Unfortunately, nobody at my school could explain my questions about Frankenstein,,,and nor could my parents.

    I took Frankenstein to mean that if a parent created something they didn't like then they thought that they had the moral right to destroy it...but the creation had the equal right to destroy the parent for creating it in the first place.

    Still we all learn by out mistakes.....and Mary Shelley wouldn't have fancied me anyway because my Dick is too small...

    I think it was Bambi or Dumbo or Pinochio or summat. I shall ask her that rules the roost the next time she calls me. Mothers can be scary, but usually remember trivia.

    I think it was a birthday party and she took about ten of us little girls to the cinema and some of them cried.
