What was it like going to the pictures (movies) in the 1960s?This podcast is all about the end of an era of entertainment that was rapidly changing, a time when you could still a film in a vast theatre decorated like a gothic palace or roman garden while in the suburbs theatres were closing down almost weekly.The story ranges from what Australians saw and how often they could see it, what they consumed from the candy bar, where they sat and how much they paid to the iron hand of the Commonwealth film censor.Enjoy this nostalgic journey with Scott Brodie, author of more than 125 books on Australian history, including Picture Palaces and Flea-Pits.
