Watford Odeon Cinema
A Memory of Watford.
I worked in this cinema in 1960, just tearing tickets. There was a woman who worked in the confectionery kiosk who had been there since it opened; her first job had been as pianist during the silent era. She went on to work until the cinema was closed and pulled down. (Sorry I do not know her name). It was during my sojourn there that the film "Psycho" was distributed and I recall that during the week it as shown there were two miscarriages in the cinema due to the "extreme nature" of the film - how times have changed eh. Unusually for the time, no person was allowed into the cinema once the film had started.
