We always welcome comments and more information about our films.

All posts are reactively checked. Libellous and abusive comments are forbidden.

  • Narrowing down this clip's current date range of 1970-79, the cinema behind the policeman is showing the film "Herbie Rides Again", meaning footage MUST have taken place after the film's release date of February 1974.
