Century Theatre 586 George Street, Sydney, NSW - 1965 installation of 70mm
The Century Theatre was a first run movie house and was converted to 70mm projection on 28th July 1965 for the season of “My Fair Lady”.
It could be said that the small 30ft curved screen did not do justice to big 70mm blockbusters, other than for the sound and very sharp image. Never-the-less “My Fair Lady” was a block-buster and ran for 96 weeks 28-7-65 to 31-5-67.
