The British Film Institute recently put a tickled up version of the original film on limited release at selected cinemas. We went along expecting there to be a few likeminded sad bastards dotted about the cinema.... this is a fifty year old flick, black and white, and has been on the telly dozens of times, remember.
The place was full, not an empty seat in the house! Young lads and their girlfriends, families with kids, old farts old enough to have lived through it and us anoraks.
Taught me a bit of a lesson, don't undersetimate the British cinema going public!
