Used to see movies here in the 1957-1959 years. Loved the place even though it was weather beaten by then. A tragedy that it was demolished to create, in part, Cathedral Square.
The 1942 Italian 2-part film was combined into one film, shortened, re-edited with different ending by the Rand folks, alternate politically correct dialog added. Still a remarkable movie from fascist Italy which speaks out against ALL tyranny.
