Description
This photograph from across the road shows the Gaumont cinema and its surrounds in September 1973, shortly before it closed down for good. The cinema appears to have shown more X-rated, European films prior to its closure. This image shows adverts for <I>Hot and Blue</I> (original title: <I>Jeux pour couples infidèles</I>) and <I>Hungry for Sex</I> (<I>Liebesspiele junger Mädchen</I>). Newspaper listings indicate that the cinema was also showing at this time late night screenings of <I>Scream and Scream Again</i>, an Amicus horror starring Christopher Lee, Vincent Price, and Peter Cushing, and a biker movie called <I>Hell's Angels '69</i>.
