Jaws the Movie at the old Cinema - just after the original release date in 1975
I suppose at the time it was a major blockbuster but had not yet become a classic.
Jaws the movie was directed by Steven Spielberg and won three Academy Awards.
I went to see it at the " flea pit ".
The cinema has long since been demolished and would have no place with todays multi screen chrome and glass palaces, which grace almost every major out of town shopping development.
This is a scan from something I printed myself (badly) at the time - here it is complete with scratch marks at the upper right hand corner. I've still thankfully got the original negative and the chance to use some proper printing facilities, so I may have a go at reprinting.
In the meantime I guess this is a little piece of cinematic history. I wonder how many other shots there are around of Jaws being shown in England "back in the day"?
Sorry about the dirty big watermarks all over the place, but for some reason people have felt it was OK to pass some of my old City of Salford shots off as their own work. I am happy for anyone to blog this (or any of my shots for that matter) as long as it links back to the original Flickr page with the copyright symbol and the "all rights reserved" in place.
Thanks for looking and thank you in anticipation for not nicking it.
