I love old movies.
Hey...here is a cool “Old Movie” story you might appreciate:
When my dad was 16, he worked as an usher in a Boston Theater. He loved the projection room and used to hang out with the projectionist, learning the trade.
One day some special new machines arrived for a film that was in a new format. The film arrived in several huge cans and had twice as many reels as a normal movie. Dad eagerly ran up to the booth to watch the man load up this new film, but the boss was unconscious...drunk. So Dad loaded up the machines the best he could, coordinated the overlapping reels and showed a flawless performance of the Boston Premiere of “Gone With the Wind”.
I guess it’s in my blood.
Great story. Thank you for sharing.
Sounds like the inspiration for “Cinema Paradiso”......
