Odeon, Sutton Coldfield, 1973. I get tickets for Mrs M. and myself and we make our way to the back row of the circle where we had sat many times before (handy for slipping out mid-performance for refreshments) -
so far so good. The movie starts (Soylent Green) and after a few minutes I ask
would you like a dog? Moments later I'm at the refreshment bar in the foyer- all is quiet,
great no queue. I procure two dogs and two cokes in open carboard cups and head back. Bit of a handful but I take things steady as I negotiate a flight of steps,
I'm almost at the top when I trip up the last step.Things then seem to go into slow motion as I stagger 10 metres or so wondering when I will have a close encounter with the carpet, miraculously somehow I regain my footing with only a slight loss of coke from each cup........
Great film.Peg.
