As a schoolboy growing up in Dunedin, I had a keen interest in movies and was a frequent visitor to the city’s 7 cinemas. I would check the theatre listings in the Otago Daily Times every day to keep up to date with the movies playing in each cinema. I had my favourites, the Octagon and Regent being top of the list. (Both still survive and continue to screen films, although the Regent is primarily a live theatre now) Not only did I go frequently to the ‘flicks’ I also started collecting film posters. The managers at the Octagon and Mayfair Theatres kept posters for me and I would go and collect them every month. I ended up with hundreds of posters but unfortunately, my parents, while having a major tidy up, burnt the lot after I had left NZ and, at the time, was living in Glasgow.
