Prewar Bolton boasted scores of cinemas and young Leslie Halliwell, accompanied by his mother, visited most of them. In the depressed and decaying industrial North, gopring to the pictures was an escape into fantasy from a grim world of poverty and unemployment. The great - and not-so-great - stars and moves of the 1930s inspired Halliwell's lifelong fascination with film and formed the habits of list making and brief assessment that have made him a world authority on the cinema. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the early life of the doyen of film buffs - as a child, as a Cambridge undergraduate and as the young manager of the cinema that started the whole craze for classic movies.320p +plates. index..
