State Theatre 49 Market Street, Sydney, NSW - 1960

The 1960s saw Australia in a period of radical change reflected in the growth of pop culture and increasing opposition to the Vietnam War, which mirrored social upheaval worldwide. In times of change, people often look to entertainment as a release and again the State Theatre provided the outlet.

The changing times are reflected in the films on offer which in 1960 included Yul Brynner in Once More, with Feeling! while by 1969 the sexual farce Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness? was being shown.
