HAVANA, CUBA — When Fidel Castro seized control of Cuba 50 years ago, time stopped for Havana’s movie theaters. Castro nationalized all 130 and today only about 40 cinemas remain open. They are the classic big-screen movie theaters of a bygone era.
Listen to the 4:54 story on National Public Radio.
